"What it is paren...@ Sally Slut Slays a Giant<br /><br />"What it is parents expect the kid to be protected from exactly?"<br /><br />Two things:<br /><br />1. Annoying questions that make it impossible for you to watch/enjoy the movie.<br /><br />ie. "Why are his hands on her breastes?"<br /><br />2. Having unreasonably and inconsolably frightened children sleeping in your bed for three weeks making it impossible for you to sleep longer than 20 minutes at a time.<br /><br />I used to think it was about protecting the kids. Now I know it's always drenched in selfish intention. It's all about getting through the rearing without becoming an alcoholic or a murderer.<br /><br />One out of two ain't always bad.beingbradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15070947117618925747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25895692.post-81093645338937840512011-07-13T20:53:40.255-07:002011-07-13T20:53:40.255-07:00See?

Have they seen the news? Been inside a school? Hang out with their kid? What exactly? They've seen it, heard it, live it. <br /><br />I just don't get it.Sally Slut Slays a Giantnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25895692.post-83394048396549952432011-07-13T20:50:02.985-07:002011-07-13T20:50:02.985-07:00As I've stated in the past, Emily, I have 5 of...As I've stated in the past, Emily, I have 5 of them there micro-humans you speak of.<br /><br />Writing and rearing young'uns is quite do-able, you just have to be damned crafty about it. It all becomes covert, ultimately, which actually gives ones work a nice edge... because, um, you're always on EDGE. There's always this imaginary gun to your head... I've not only grown used to working like that... I kinda' dig it.<br /><br />Hell, I'm about to break ground on my first directorial effort, a short film to be lensed this September. So yes, it can be done!Jeffreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01266585163385328660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25895692.post-24892721070365238132011-07-13T19:01:28.175-07:002011-07-13T19:01:28.175-07:00I saw 2 adult movies in the theater in the first 8...I saw 2 adult movies in the theater in the first 8 years of my son's life!
