Practice Making Choices With a Kid
We watched my favourite Robin Hood movie yesterday. The Pirate Princess and me. And the way we found that movie is today’s tip for a more skillful Dev-Rel-Life.
Five Steps Towards Making a Choice About What Movie to Watch With a Kid
- I deleted all the movies from the wish list. (Inside Disney Plus)
- I asked the Pirate Princess to watch trailers and add 4 movies to the wish list. (The Pirate Princess loves trailers)
- I added 4 movies myself.
- The Pirate Princess and I took turns saying “no” to one movie each. Until we had one movie left, Disney’s animated Robin Hood from 1973.
- We watched Robin Hood in bed.
I remember watching that Robin Hood movie in the cinema with my dad. MAN I loved that movie. I drew Robin Hood EVERY day for months in day care. And I drew that hypnist snake Hiss also. I drew Hiss with his spiralling eyes. I wish I had some of those drawings today to show The Pirate Princess.
Here are today’s drawings, not even half as imbued with passion and hero worship.
