Brains Beats Cheats...As It Should

A really good by the book kids flick that's safe for any of your shorties (age 2-10). A bunch of snowy tikes spend their days sleigh racing each other with zero adult supervision. Just like I remember it. There's good kids who are brainy and some not so good kids who cheat. Tremendous race scenes. A few good songs performed by one of the racerss...dancing, a cute dog, a couple of tears, and one awesome barn/clubhouse that they're all competing for.

My 9 yr old son loved it! Me...not so much. That's ok. Thank God for Steve Jobs so I can inconspicuously read the news while we watch.

A brief comment to a reviewer referencing their southern neighbors. Let's assume we're talking about Canada and the US. Please allow me to make this analogy. Our (The US) relationship with Canada is very similar to co-parenting. Just like we both want prosperity and happiness for our nations...we want equal and more for our children. To achieve this amazing outcome one of the parents (can be either) must be an enforcer to some degree. Not talking corporal punishment rather when the parent says it's time to do X....child does X. This is usually reserved for one parent and the other parent (also extremely necessary in achieving said parenting goal) should be more of the softie type. The one who a child may lean on more at times. The one who says yes not no. The one who buys that toy even though their kid doesn't deserve it..... I'd love for my country to be that parent but the reality is one of us must stand guard if all is to be right in the world tomorrow morning. It's the price you and I pay so we can watch cute little movies like this on cold winter nights in our comfy living rooms with our children who sometimes deserve the toy...sometimes not. Being a parent would be so easy if I always said "yes" not "no". My country feels the same.
