A kid at heart

Scene: a rockin' new parent Saturday night after Bailey has gone to bed as we settle in with some popcorn and wine to watch Secretariat, a Disney movie I "rented" from Redbox 2 weeks ago which we have just gotten around to watching and therefore have now decided to keep because we've already spent $14 on it, what's $11 more?

We are sitting through various previews for Disney movies, and during the preview for "Tangled" (a seemingly very chick-flick type of animated Disney movie about Rapunzel) my husband came out with this little gem:

Scott:  Won't it be awesome when we can watch these kinds of movies without being weird because Bailey will want to see them?

Me: Did you really just say that out loud?

While his choice of movie previews during which to express this sentiment was somewhat surprising, I really wasn't surprised at the sentiment, as he's made similar comments about cartoons and kids' shows on many occasions.  Indeed, I have come into the den many times (both before and after we found out I was pregnant) to find him watching various cartoons (such as the Avatar, a Nickelodeon cartoon about a kid with an arrow on his head which at one time filled our dvr, but he will watch just about any cartoon).  

I guess he's just practicing.

  1. Haha! I love Scott's comment... some of the kid's shows out there are pretty awesome. Tell him to check out Yo Gabba Gabba- it's the best
