“When I’m Five Years Old…” Movies Edition
As I mentioned in my first installment, Jon’s list of things he wants when he turns five is exhaustive and exhausting. In addition to things he wants to be (taller) and have (all manner of toys), there are things he wants to experience. Things that are well above what’s appropriate for his age. He claims he’s not afraid of anything (except for getting shots, going into a darkened room alone, biting spiders and vegetables) ā and I’m proud when he’s my brave, little toaster. But I’m not ready for him to be 100% fearless yet. He’s got stuff to learn, limits to experience, dangers to fully comprehend. Like cyborg assassins from the future.
SPOILER ALERT! THIS IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. Stay tuned for more sequels to “When I’m five years old…”
On your way out of the theater, leave a comment telling us what movies well above their age range your little ones are clamoring to see. Or ones you saw long before you were ready.

For more family-friendly(ish) fun… stampede, swim or crawl (because the lower half of your cybernetic body has been severed) over to Facebook and like the Designer Daddy page. I’ll bring the popcorn!
When I was five, I wanted to watch Airplane (because my parents were watching it). I remember re-enacting the beach love scene with my teddy bear (the running in the surf bit). Mom shooed me out of the room long before I was able to see anything more harmful. ::chuckle::
Jami:
How long before you saw the whole thing? Probably wasn’t as good as when it was forbidden, huh? š

I saw John Carpenters “The Thing” when i was like 8 years old. It scared the crap out of me but made me a better person. LET JOHN SEE JURASSIC PARK!
