The 8 year old reviews Garden State

We sent the boys to bed early tonight so the blonde and I could do something we rarely get to do anymore.

Watch a grown up movie. Garden State.

The 8 year old was mad because it meant we couldn't read another chapter of Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator.

"Why do you want to watch Garden State anyway?" he wanted to know.

"I think it might be good," I said.

"I don't," he said.

"Well, maybe not for kids," I said, "But it's something grown-ups might like."

"No, it's not."

"You don't think I'll like it?"

"Nope."

"How do you know?"

"I saw a lot of ads for it on TV," he said knowledgeably. "Nothing happens and then two people have love troubles."

Can't argue with that.
