It's just the bits about losing parents that get me. Probably for the same reason I get misty over the Andrex puppy (shouldn't it still be with it's mother so young?).<BR/><BR/>Hi Irene, sorry, I didn't mean to spread the sentimental affliction! I suggest you don't watch Bambi any time soon though, just in case...<BR/><BR/>Hi WM, hope you all enjoy it! Boy #1 is still talking about the Furious Five and the panda (who he endearingly calls Black Jack rather than Po), so it clearly made a good impression!Potty Mummyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04751869800592294891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-10750194805945269372008-07-11T17:01:00.000+01:002008-07-11T17:01:00.000+01:00Thanks for the advice - we're off to see Kung Fu P...Thanks for the advice - we're off to see Kung Fu Panda tomorrow.

(It's not true, but hey, that's the beauty of the internet...)<BR/><BR/>Hi RM, can't wait for that development. Boy #1 thankfully knows his limitations - The Mummy has not been requested. Yet.<BR/><BR/>Hi Tara, I'm sure they have similar showings round here, Ijust haven't been organised enough to find out about them... Must add it to my list of things to feel guilty about!<BR/><BR/>Mud, I'm assuming you're excluding Sex in the City from your list of unbelievable films? Because as we all know, it's real life.<BR/><BR/>Hi Milla, I'm sure it's just a matter of time. And clearly, my watching the movies 'for the Boys' is just an excuse.<BR/><BR/>Hi Sam, actually that one was next on the list of potentials. Would you recommend it?<BR/><BR/>Hello NH Mum. I must be very hard hearted as it didn't even occur to me fast forward through that bit of Madagascar. But I must say, when Boy #1 wanted to watch Ice Age this evening I refused. I said it was too long, but really? It was because I couldn't handle the opening scene where the baby's mum drowns. What am I like?Potty Mummyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04751869800592294891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-9804296390554453512008-07-10T14:37:00.000+01:002008-07-10T14:37:00.000+01:00We have yet to see KFP (or "Panda, hai yah!" as he...We have yet to see KFP (or "Panda, hai yah!" as he's known in our house) but I sense it's not far off. <BR/><BR/>And I can't watch that bit of Finding Nemo either.

Isn't it? But sometime, maybe once they hit Junior age? not sure, control slips. My 11 year old has started sloping off, (get this!), UNACCOMPANIED with his chum to 12As. Am expecting the knock on the door and the blue flashing light freaking the neighbours any moment now. Of course come September 10th I can go back to my slack ways of "yeah, darling, of course, off you go, back by midnight, now!!Millahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15967731998504496807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-55283561850410108072008-07-10T10:28:00.000+01:002008-07-10T10:28:00.000+01:00Love the teenager conversation!

And he's probably pretty close to the truth without meaning to be.<BR/><BR/>As for scary films, my mum spent hours telling me not to be scared as films aren't real and making me imagine all the make up artists and props people behind the scenes - with the ultimate effect being that I can't take most films seriously today!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-73411584932700660862008-07-10T10:05:00.000+01:002008-07-10T10:05:00.000+01:00That first cinema experience is always a big test....That first cinema experience is always a big test. The Odeon cinema here has a special screening of certain shows (think it's called Newbies) specifically for parents so they don't have to be embarassed if their children run riot! <BR/>Love the teenager conversation too. I had a similar one with my son about when his older cousin would become a teenager: http://blogs.coventrytelegraph.net/fromdawntillrusk/2008/04/the-funny-things-kids-say.htmlAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01124513427678555863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-73334350083522660662008-07-10T09:59:00.000+01:002008-07-10T09:59:00.000+01:00i think that's lovely; i think it sounds like a pe...i think that's lovely; i think it sounds like a perfect first cinema experience. well done. though i'd agree with you about not getting there too early: with teens it's not because i'm scared of what they'll see rather what they'll demand to see next time we venture out to a movie.A Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03933820566793650208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-67353175554993644962008-07-09T22:51:00.000+01:002008-07-09T22:51:00.000+01:00OMG!
