So I was in the car, hanging out with my son, a.
And he tells me something that warms my heart.
We are talking about a movie that his sister is watching at home, and how it is a kung-fu movie. I tell him that he probably wouldn't like it. Then matter of fact he says to me, "I like the part in that one movie where that one guy kicks the other guy's ass."
"You like it where that one guy kicks ass?""Yeah, that is my favorite."
To many a parent this would be a horrifying revelation I'm sure. But I love it, because I know that my kids are going to grow up knowing that the world isn't roses and lollipops. Here is the way I look at it. My kids could be sheltered from the world and not know what swearing, or violence or sex are. Or, I could let them know that those things are out there, and tell them the benefits and drawbacks of all of those things, and let them make the decision.
I take the second road.
Constantly hoping that a. (or b. or s. for that matter) will chose the 36th Chamber.
Some of you will get that.
Some of you have some movie watching to do.
Vile under Virtue.
