Resigned

I don’t like movies.

There I admitted it.

So when my kids started questioning why they hadn’t seen this classic or that one, I had no real explanation.

After they went to bed, I sat on the couch lamenting. I should have done better, I should have been better.

The kids got up the next day and I promised them a movie a weekend until they were caught up. They looked at me odd.

“But Mom, we have already seen all the movies.”

I went through the list they shot at me the day before, and sure enough, they knew what happened in every one.

As I marveled at my luck, I also thanked my lucky stars. Maybe instead of movie Sunday’s we could go to the park instead.

I would like that much better.
