Life Lessons

Chica has started to express an interest in our outdated DVD collection. So naturally, being the overbearing Mama that I am, I seized the opportunity to impart some parenting gems through the magic of the movies.

Top Gun

  • Gem #1: Sometimes it takes many haircuts to find "the one" (ahem, '80's Meg Ryan)
  • Gem #2: Objects on screen are not taller than they appear (ahem, Tom Cruise)
  • Gem #3: Gratuitous slow-motion volleyball is fun for all (when you're waaaay older)




What Women Want

  • Gem #1: Sometimes, even we don't know.
  • Gem #2: 99.9% of the time, men don't know.


What a Girl Wants

  • Gem #1, Part A: Child actresses are often cautionary tales (ahem, poor Amanda Bynes)
  • Gem #2, Part B: Twitter never really helps anybody (double ahem, Amanda Bynes)
  • Gem #3: All males--young and old--are more attractive with a British accent.
