Movie Night

So, we decided to start a Friday night "family movie night", and rented a beloved classic from my childhood -  The Neverending Story. I wanted the kids to like it of course, and of course when you tell your kids they will like something that you liked when you were a kid, they do everything in their power to NOT like it. They were squirmy and restless when the movie first started, and then finally when they seemed to be getting into it a little along came the scene where Atrayu's horse Artax sinks in the Swamp of Sorrows... and both kids started BAWLING and refused to watch any more of the movie. So much for family movie night.

ARTAX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*Sigh* Joel says he's picking the movie next time.
