    A few years ago, we had some family friends (a conservative but nice Christian family) over for a movie night. They had a couple of younger girls, I think about 7 and 10 or so, plus ours about the same age. It was October so I suggested Gremlins, as I vaguely remembered enjoying it as a kid - and besides, it’s only PG! It’s a comedy!

    Yeah that was a mistake.

    A few months later they came over for dinner and another movie, and this time I was more careful - they wanted a family-friendly action movie, so I suggested Point Break. I honestly don’t know what the fuck I was thinking.

    Now I no longer trust my own recollections of how “family-friendly” movies are anymore. I guess I just don’t really pay attention to that.

    For some reason they haven’t kept in touch…
