Not sure if I did the right thing.

My oldest son was going to take my youngest son so see the new "Pirates" movie. I told my youngest son he couldn't go.

He asked me why. I told him he couldn't go see it because it was rated
"Aaaarrrrrrrrrrr !".

Should I have said that ? Was I wrong ? :confused:

    Well, it depends on how old that son is.
    I could see it being a problem if the son is over 30. And I generally would want to keep kids away from disney movies anyway.

    I went with a friend of mine who couldn't believe it was a Disney film because of some gross violent parts so I say you did fine.

    I think he was making a pun -- the "ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR" pirate sound and an R-rating..
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    If he was under 13 you did the right thing. If he's over 13 let him go.

    If it's neither then it's just a bad pun.

    I was starting to worry. :)

    They did see "Pirates", but I did use that line on them before they left.
    Try it out at home yourselves, it's actually pretty dang funny.


    "Aaarrrrrrrr" !!

    We were wanting to work off this basic theme:

    cat swim.jpg


    We'd get the cat, work a little trim here and there. Get rid of the satin swim cap and replace it with something a little more "piratey". Add an eye patch,
    and fine tune as needed.

    Well, our intial efforts with the first cat were a complete disaster.
    Without going into all the details, he was completely non-cooperative and definitely had an attitude. How he wound up stuck in the blinds is .... well, we don't need to go into that.

    cat dumb.jpg


    I'll tell you one thing, though: he got himelf stuck in those blinds, he can get himself out !!
    My oldest son seems to think he stopped breathing, but I know how that furrball operates. He's just faking !!

    The second cat worked out a little better, I think. We still have some work to do, but ..... here's the results of our first efforts:

    cat pirate.jpg


    We had some trouble getting his hair to stand out like that. Conditioner and hair spray just wasn't holding up. My youngest son came up with the good idea of using honey, and setting it with the hairdryer. Worked out well.

    As soon as my son-in-law finishes carving the peg leg (he's a carpenter), we'll start with phase II. The daughter will help with that, too. She's a dental hygentist, so we figure she's got the necessary skills. Heck, the only difference between a dental implant and a peg leg implant is fur.

    I think. Well, I guess we'll find out.

    So..... stay tuned. We're putting a lot of effort into this, but we think it'll pay off in the long run.

    Despite my best efforts, I don't think my pirate cat turned out very well.

    See what I mean; it KINDA looks a little piratey, but ...... :(

    But it looks better than what my kids came up with: I gave them my charge card, told them to get what supplies they needed, and left them to their own efforts downstairs. Well, after 3 days down there, well .... I dunno. Sounds like they had fun; lots of laughing and giggling and other noises, but THIS is what they came up with after 3 days on their own:

    No way in heck does THAT look like a pirate !! What were they thinking ?

    It is kind of neat how they taught the cat to talk, though. And with a French accent no less ! I wonder how they did that ?

    So, I admit defeat. I have to go now; Visa called about some questionable and excessive charges in the last few days, so I have to go check that out.

    ...you wouldn't happen to have that in a sequenced Petite Miss Junior size, would you ?

    ...I'm thinking about taking the cat to the Chicago games.
