But Mom...

This summer, I've been trying to expose my kids to movies that I thought were awesome over the last 20 yrs or so. We've watched The Blues Brothers, Ferris Bueller, Breakfast Club, Mallrats & a handful of others I considered "must-see" movies.

Last week we rented Tomb Raider from the public library. I don't listen to all the Hollywood hoopla about celebrities--I really just.don't.give.a.damn. But I do appreciate gorgeous women, whether they can act or not. I don't care if they have affairs or drug problems or adopt a dozen kids. (it's great that they adopt kids though) Anyway--


While walking through the living room, my son enraptured with all of the violence & cool gadgets, I see Angelina's giant pouty lips & fantastic body and I say "Good lord, I'd date her."

And my son looks at me with horror in his eyes & says...


But Mom, you are A Straight.


and Jack pops up from the other room "Shows what you know," while I giggle and walk away.
