But this gives you an opportunity to talk to him about some heavy stuff you would otherwise never bring up. Sure if you sent him to movies like this all the time you would be Bad, but this could be a really wonderful opportunity to discuss really deep moral issues, the kind kids usually aren't receptive to. The fact that he was disturbed by the movie shows just how great a job you've done.

penni and moms and pops here - i enjoyed reading your post this morning of your time with ammo. bittersweet to me today. i spent last evening in my beloved holler with the fueding adults and the confused younguns. there was one set of parents there. the others are all split up and far too busy running round to pay attention to their children. and by the end of the evening, the one parental unit there had got into it. with the wife packing her car and leaving and the husband ranting senselessly. and me in his face, angry and upset, trying to talk sense to him. yeah right. gawwwwd i hate it sometimes. and two young couples there, rather adorable young couples, trying to learn to get along and forge a lasting relationship. felt like taking rambi's uzi to all them 'adults'. including the 'mother' who had borrowed her son's car the night before and taken off with her drug-addict boyfriend. they hadn't been seen or heard from since. wish sometimes that i was peter pan. with a safe home for my tossed-aside teenagers to come to. hmmm. forgive my seriousness please. but getting on here and reading your post and then thinking of all the ones where y'all discuss your children so lovingly and speak of the work and joy of raising them really drove home the contrast to me. and i find myself wishing these kids had it so good and being happy that y'all's children have parents who work hard for them. feel down-right sentimental 'bout it. okayokay, enough.
