Bad Mommy. No biscuit.

The little ones are hangin' at my office for a little while today. We've got markers and crayons and pillows and a yoga mat for lounging. But I flubbed one crucial element: I brought the wrong movie (though, in my defense, I brought to correct movie case).

Crocodile Hunter, while a perfectly fun little movie on its own, will absolutely not do for princesses who were expecting Barbie's Swan Lake.

I am SO fired.

I would say that someone who did not follow proper organization protocol is to blame, not you.

I would take the opportunity to re-enforce why it is important to get the right movies in the right box. They're little, but horribly scarring incidents such as those are wonderful for teaching "lessons learned".

Then again, I expect my own to be able to fend for themselves a bit more... (they being older) so I'm harsh. 8-)

I was in a rush and not thinking -- it took three separate trips into the house to get this Not Right. (sigh)

Fi provided the DVD case but then discovered it was empty; they directed me upstairs to the DVD player, but I didn't LOOK at the movie before I put it into the case and carried it away. Bleh.

They seem to have survived the incident. :)

So was it you as a kid that accidentally got the porno in your favorite movie box or one of your offspring?

perhaps it's a particularly scarring kind of incident for a Virgo?

Too right. Mayhaps it is.

I don't do porno... it's like window-shopping for Ferarris. Or window shopping for Ferrari golf-carts perhaps. I've never been impressed.

I am thinking of Fi and Ki, and the DOOM that accompanies something like not getting to watch the movie they planned. Ki seems to take that stuff to heart sometimes. Granted, she's 4... she hasn't had to deal with a lot of hardship yet.

My kids? They've been told long ago that life isn't fair, suck it up, and if they whine about a movie, then they need to loose all TV and Video privledges until they re-assess what is important in their lives.

You could say I'm spurring the future economic growth of our country... some therapist may make a lot of money off of my kids. 8-)
