jaws

i was playing dominos with the girls last night and got the following text message.

is is ok for us to watch jaws?

i almost choked on my tortilla chip.
and many response options ran through my head....

my 1st response...have you LOST your mind?? was quickly replaced (at the guidance of my friends) with-

no- bad idea.

i'll give him credit for asking- but really?? jaws?

in the middle of the summer
for an newly turned 8 year old
with an over active imagination and a tad of anxiety thrown in for good measure
when we have a boat
and routinely travel in deep salty water???

yeah- bad idea.
silly daddy.
