Last night I was watching the movie Grown Ups with my wife and kids. It was rated PG-13 which is usually ok for the kids. Most of the adult humor was just silliness, however there was one part where I was regretting having the kids watch. It was when Salma Hayek’s character reveals that there is no Tooth Fairy. I’m not sure if the kids caught on because the dialog was a little vague, and they didn’t say anything to us about it. But that got me thinking about another incident in which we were watching Gremlins and Phoebe Cates’ character is telling a story and then says something like, “...and that was when I realized that there was no Santa Claus.” Again, the kids didn’t say anything. But dang, I wish there was some kind of notification for this. Probably there’s a website out there that lists movies with spoilers of this kind? Bay’s about the age where he’s going to stop believing in this sort of thing, so I guess it’s ok if he sees these but still, it’s kind of cute how he woke up extra-early this morning to see if the Easter Bunny left a basket. It’ll be a little sad when he grows out of this phase.
