The perilous pitfalls of Saturday night movies

[anagramofbrat]

So I found out the hard way tonight that Kidzilla is highly susceptible to tearjerker movies. She got a little weepy at the end of The Land Before Time tonight. I had to give her a big hug and tell her a) Andees cry at the end of movies too (though generally not in front of people) b) it means the movie did its job and made you care about what happened to the characters, so it's perfectly okay.

Lovebug, to everyone's surprise, managed to stay awake for the entire movie and was VERY upset about Littlefoot's mom not making it to the Great Valley with the characters to the point of throwing a tantrum about it when credits rolled. Definitely one of those things where you feel horrible that the kids are upset, but at the same time you're kinda trying not to laugh at the same time... and then you feel horrible about THAT. I made up for it by letting them watch one of the Wallace and Gromit shorts (A Close Shave, specifically) to lighten the mood up a bit. 'Course then Lovebug got scared at the end when the characters almost get chewed up by a meat grinder... and, well.... cue bawling round 2.

As an aside... is it normal for 3 year olds to poop bricks the size of which would win admiration and probably a round of beer from your average frat rat? I'm just saying... in the middle of all this Lovebug sniffled that he had to go potty and... O_o What the HAYLL, kiddo? How do you have room in there for something that size!???? I seriously expected this thing to sprout wings, breathe fire and come leaping out of the toilet. D:

Everyone's now okay and tucked snugly into bed after lots of hugs and kisses and giggling but oy, stepmama needs her Baileys and cocoa. Wish we actually had some of either in the house! XD Once again, hats off to those of you who do this full time. *shakes head in bemused admiration*

Tomorrow, bells and brunch. YEAH BITCHES.

Small children's intestines are actually inter dimensional portals into a realm of horror beneath Cthulu's left armpit, thus allowing even the most precious and tiny infant to blaat out enough poo to blow out a diaper and do unspeakable things to the bedding.

It's pretty typical, particularly if they haven't "gone" in a day and have eaten a good amount. I wouldn't worry unless there was tearing or rips or other bottom pain.

And I SO hate and loathe these kiddy movies that insist on killing off at least one Mom or Dad. How is THAT a kiddy movie?! Sheesh. There's an Animiacs episode that deals with it, but no one's got it posted. :http://www.ovguide.com/tv_episode/bumbies-mom-season-1-episode-37-animaniacs-101918#

LOL! "Land Before Time" is the world's biggest tearjerker movie when you're under 10 years old. My cousins took me to see it and it was all I could do not to bawl like an infant.
