Mom, you need to sign these slips while I am thinking about it - say daughter at about 6 a.m. this morning as we both emerge from the shower.
"OK, what exactly am I signing?" I say, as I scribble away.
"They are permission slips,one for seeing Schindler's List, and the other in case I'm assigned to read Catcher in the Rye"
"I just gave you the book to read, and we've already watch the film together, why do I need to sign this?"
"They just want to make sure you're okay with it...don't argue, just sign."
This blog will cover the collision of two cultures - parents and teen children. They don't understand us, and view us as spoilers or walking ATMs (adults with teen malcontents?) We are left wondering what happened to our cute cuddly kids of a few years back, and when they may return. If ever.

Still haven't seen avatar yet.
Because Jennifer keeps wanting NOT to see it so she can see it with her boyfriend of the hour.
That happened last night, again, so we ended up with The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus.
About 5 minutes into the film, she turns to me and hisses "what type of weird-ass film did you bring me to?"
But actually, by the end, she wasn't grumpy anymore. The film, heath ledger's last, worked for me, and Jennifer too. The on the other side of the looking glass scenes were shot by his friends playing heath, including Johnny Depp and Jude Law. Oh, and Colin Farrell.
It works.
