This is a question I wished I had asked myself before I let my 4 and 8 year old watch this movie. I remember it as being sort of funny in a Mel Brooks kind of way - a fairly light rip off of Star Wars.
The truth is that it isn't actually appropriate for little kids. Many swear words - tons of "shit" and "asshole" and a few "bitch".
They thought it was SUPER funny though and laughed like maniacs.
I had better not hear them repeating those words. Or else!
On the way home from the ski hill on Christmas eve a song came on the radio in the truck. Bob and Doug McKenzie singing the 12 days of Christmas. (if you were raised in a cave see the link below)

Now I have heard this song every year for many years and it always makes me smile but I was totally caught off guard by the kids reaction to it.
The lyrics look like this (they only get as far as 8 items)
8 comic books,
7 packs of smokes,
6 packs of two-four ,
5 golden tuques,
4 pounds of
back bacon ,
3 French toasts,
2
turtlenecks,
and a beer in a tree
The boys were cracking up at the 5 golden tuques. They said it over and over and over again. My oldest said "That part is so funny I am actually crying with laughter" and he was! He was doubled over laughing and tears were streaming down his face. All the way home they sang it - over and over and like the excellent mom I am I tuned it right out.
That is until the half an hour mark - I tuned back in and heard what they were really singing.
"Five golden toots"
Oh boys and their potty humor ......... But if you listen closely it does sound sort of like toots
My friend Charissa sent me this - totally how I felt all December!
Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year - I will take a little break for a couple of days to enjoy the holiday with my husband and kids
Our neighbors across the street are moving - or at least we hope they are....... The house is up for sale but so far no one has bought it.
Now as neighbors go they are not actually that bad. They are a blended family with 7 kids between them from elementary school right up to college. They say hi when outside and mow the lawn. Like I said - hardly nightmare neighbors.
However there have been a few "incidents".
Strike 1 was in May. They had a super loud party where the teens were outside screaming at each other and they woke up the neighborhood. We are an early to bed either because we have little kids or we are really old. Late night parties are rare and pretty unwelcome.
Strike 2 is their little cat. I love him - he's hilarious and likes to pretend to attack us when we walk by. He helped me get the gardens ready for fall by attacking my hair and if it was up to me I would kidnap him. But my husband feels much differently. The cat was using our front garden as a litter box and that drives my husband crazy. So not only can I not steal the little funny cat, he isn't allowed to hang out with us in the yard anymore.
Strike 3 was just this week. We had a big snow fall (big for us which is 5 - 10cm). the rest of us shoveled our snow onto our lawns like you are supposed to. THEY shoveled it all into the middle of the road.
We almost got stuck when we were driving home. Super annoying AND against bylaw.

A friend of mine had a FB conversation about tight wearing in public Are they pants? Are you going to Yoga? Are they see through? Do you have something over top of them?
You will never see me in Yoga pants in public unless I am going to or coming back from a run OR am very very very ill. This is my promise to you . Now at home is a different story - I am pretty much a PJ and bathrobe kind of girl as soon as I get back into the house. But that is a topic for another day
One of her friends posted this link and it made me laugh
Is so good - and I found funny t shirts that share the love
Super funny
