conversation with little she

C: I don’t like Monsters Inc. It gives me nightmares.
RM: Which part gives you nightmares?
C: When Sully roars at the little girl.
RM: Y’know, Sully is really nice for the whole rest of the movie.
C: Yes, but that one time he was scary.
RM: So even though he is really good for the whole movie, that one time was enough to make you not like the character?
C: Yes.

Please let parenting not be like Pixar…

“Please let parenting not be like Pixar” — my kids are 22, 27 and 32, and as far as I can tell, you don’t need to worry. I know I did things that I regretted instantly and later, but since I apparently did more good than bad, I have been rewarded far beyond my deserts, and you will be too.
