in keeping with movies and parenting related posts...

we just finished watching transformers. we've discussed how it is just a movie of explosions meant to fire up young males... we've discussed how troy in hsm had a lot more respect for females than a lot of the males in transformers.... we've discussed how evil always seems so much more powerful than good because good is, well, good...lest it become evil, you know?

but i have to say..my family is each one very good at memorizing movie lines. and they tend to deliver them at really great moments... so, i just can't wait to walk in and find my sons all flustered (because, you know, they're saving the world, only they don't want to tell me because i might think they're crazy or something) and i can try to figure out what's going on and then just ask, at my wits end and all, "son, were you masturbating?" and then N can get mad at me and we can call it n's (or s's or o's or e's) "happy time", because masturbating is father-son stuff... that part really got me...

yeah, i know it's a movie about blowing stuff up....but the mom concluding her son's difficulty in talking was because he was masturbating...now THERE'S something i could relate to...

peace out
