Still clueless

A decade of parenting and I'm still clueless.

We went to the movies today and it was a choice between Boxtrolls and Maze Runner. Having been fed a diet of animated movies for the past 10 years, I guess I was restless and decided that the kids were ready for a PG movie. Come to think of it, they've watched a few here and there.

They didn't fare well with the Green Lantern movie and Godzilla. I should have had the foresight to preempt today's situation.

They were put off by the beastie below ... referred in the movie as a Griever.

Maybe it's the teeth. I need to get Hollywood to make toothless villians.

Shania was unable to sleep which was bad as that has not happened in ages. Had to resort to humming her to sleep, which was pleasant as it brought to mind all the times I had done that when she was much younger. Have to treasure moments like this as they come along.

Checked on Dylan and he was fast asleep though he had confessed to his mother that he was afraid too.

All in a all, a bad movie choice by me. At least we didn't watch Annabelle, otherwise I would have three sleepless people in the house!

A silver lining from today's movie going though was when Shania asked about flawed plot-lines in the movie. Extremely pleased that she was watching and thinking about the movie.

I will make better movie choices - I can live through more animated movies.
