Family Time
By Marisa | March 8, 2008
We’ve gotten into a wonderful habit of sitting down together as a family on the weekend and watching a movie. That may not seem like a big deal to some, or even most, people but it is to us. With children who range from age 29 to 11, a grandchild and the “opposite” nature of my husband and me, it’s always been easier for each of us to go to our own TV and watch alone. Making this effort has paid off, though.
Not only do we get to spend together watching the movie, but we also end up discussing our favorite or not so favorite parts the next day or later in the week. Interesting that we’re bonding over something as simple as a movie. Even more interesting is that we’ve all enjoyed the movies that we’ve chosen. Well, almost all. I did excuse myself from a scary one a few weeks ago. I can’t do horror films.
The only issue we really have right now is that every movie we watch ends up with the closed captioning running on it. That doesn’t happen on regular TV shows so we figure it has to do with the DVD player. But then, it doesn’t happen on Kendyll’s Dora DVDs, just the full feature films we rent or buy. How odd is that?
Tonight, after Kendyll goes to sleep, we’ll be watching another movie. I sure hope I figure out how to turn off the darn closed captioning by then!
