Ludicrous Parenting

I grew up in the eighties and adored the movie Spaceballs. I’m now an adult and a parent. We’re going on a long road trip, but luckily for my kids, our car has a DVD player and screens on the back of both driver and passenger seats.

I put the Spaceballs DVD in and zone out as we drive. When my seven-year-old says from the back of the car:

Child: “They say s*** a lot in this movie. It should be called S***balls, not Spaceballs.”

I have this blindness to how inappropriate 80s and 90s movies and shows actually were. It was normal then, I guess.

My husband doesn’t let me pick the movie anymore.
