If you’re anything like me, you look forward to spending some quality time with your parents whenever you’re home on breaks. Some families bond by going out to dinner, a few prefer to stay home and play board games, and others go on random trips to luxurious sunny locations. My family, however, likes to gather around the fireplace, cuddle up with fuzzy blankets and pillows… and watch a movie.
Now, you probably think that your college-kid status means that you’re past the stage of watching family-oriented movies with your parents. You’re ready to move up to the big leagues! You’re a big kid now!
I have some bad news. I’m here to tell you that you’re wrong. Very, very wrong. There are just some things that you can’t watch with your parents. No matter how cool you think your progenitors are, do yourself a favor and don’t watch the following movies. Time may heal all wounds, even the cringe-induced blushing on your face; but it doesn’t erase the shame in your soul. Stick with the likes of Wall-E, Nemo, and Big Hero 6 – at least afterwards you’ll be able to look your parents in the eye.
