I Don't Care If It's Your Birthday

family

We've planned a birthday party for my son on Saturday.  He's turning six and he'll take a bunch of his friends to a movie to celebrate.  Normally, since it's his birthday, I'd let him see the G-rated film of his choice.  But this time, I vetoed his selection.

James chose to see "The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: A VeggieTales Movie".  Now that he's too old to watch Treehouse TV, he sees ads.  The ads for "The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: A VeggieTales Movie" did what they were designed to do, because both he and his 3-year old sister were sold.  When I found out I'd have to sit through "The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: A VeggieTales Movie" on Saturday, I pulled rank.

I love my son, but watching "The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: A VeggieTales Movie" is cruel and unusual punishment and I just won't do it.  At least "Alvin and the Chipmunks" has David Cross in it, and I can ride 92 minutes on fumes of nostalgia.

Sorry James, I don't care if it's your birthday, I ain't watching "The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: A VeggieTales Movie".
