Is it just me, or is one of the greatest joys of parenting introducing your kids to all of the movies and TV shows that you yourself loved in the ’80s? Behold the magic of DVDs and Internet streaming, which allow one to inflict all sorts of classic programming on one’s offspring. Family movie night at our house is a blast, and not just because for once everyone is allowed to eat dinner in front of the TV.
Me: “Okay, guys, the deal here is the car actually talks and drives itself. Isn’t that cool?”
Them: “They don’t make Pontiacs
Me: “Don’t think about that. It was really high tech 25 years ago.”
Them: “Hey, isn’t that the old dude that we saw eating a burger drunk on YouTube?”
Me: “Did I mention the car talks?”
Them: “Here’s another glass of wine, Mom. Can we play with the Wii now?”
Seriously, they’re good sports and some of my favorites have become their favorites as well. So now I have good excuse to watch them.
I love it when a plan comes together.
