$1.99? Are you outta your mind?

Ugh. Okay first off. Best title I could muster up at the moment, despite the horribly annoying commercial that phrase accompanied and it's crazy ability to dig inside my head and echo it's annoyingness all the day long. Moving on...

...to "On Demand" from your friendly neighborhood Time Warner Cable. Last night after the boys were tucked in and prayed over and began to pretend to go to bed, the girls wanted A and I to play a game or otherwise help them be able to stay up later than late. And after an attempt to reach back in the dusty file cabinets of our minds, we could not for the life of us remember 100% how to play Skip-Bo. Go figure. And Monopoly - despite my pleas - went unplayed. So...

...we opted for a movie. A kid-friendly movie. So first choice: Ghost Town. However, an f-bomb not three minutes in stopped that with the quickness. It was only $1.99. So it was like a two dollar lesson. Lesson being: don't rent Ghost Town for the kids again.

Next movie choice at the $1.99 range: Nanny McPhee. Not horrible actually. No cussing. Bonus. Kids laughed like 99.9% of the time, talked the other. Despite the odd overkill of ridiculously deep blues, greens and reds dancing on my retinas, I could catch a glimpse at why the kiddos begged to watch the film. And why they now want to watch the upcoming sequel Nanny McPhee Returns. Joy.
