Rob and I love to buy old movies that we watched as kids and show them to our girls. We first found Superman a few years ago and I was so excited for our girls to see it. Right after I first turned it on, a few girls in the neighborhood showed up. They were all sitting in the family room watching the movie while I was cleaning in a different part of the house. All of the sudden I heard all of the girls laughing hysterically. I went in there to see a naked toddler Superman standing by a car. Luckily my girls were the only ones without a brother, so they were the most shocked.
Pollyanna is another movie I loved watching as a kid. After all, it is rated G so I thought I would be okay showing it to my girls and Avery Mallett (who was one of the girls at my house when I showed Superman). Once again, it showed a naked boy, who this time was jumping into a lake.
Today I just showed another movie to guess who...Avery Mallett. This time it had a naked statue of David that had a certain part of his anatomy broken off. I didn't remember this part so we kept watching. Much to my surprise, we then watched as the boys tried to glue the part back on. We ended up turning off the movie before we were shocked any further. I would like to know what a PG-13 movie looked like back then because there were obviously not many rules for PG ratings. Sorry Steve and Jenn. I promise I will screen movies before showing them to your daughter again!

Ha ha. It is amazing how you start to notice things when you have kids:) I do wonder how the rating system lets some of these movies slip on by. One word: MONEY!?! They probably bribe the rating people:) Fool's Gold is PG-13 and has some very RUDE naked parts! So we may have to start screening the new and old G movies for our kids:)
no worries...we are terrible screeners ourselves. If you feel any guilt...I am sure at one point in time one of your kids has been in the car with Jenn. Most of the music she listens to comes with parental advisory labels.
That is so funny...for the record though I let my kids watch Goonies...I love that movie!
Geez, Amy...what are you trying to do to those poor, innocent girls? :) That is too funny. I'm sad to say that "Goonies" is one of Amber's favorite movies (what do you expect from one of Adam's children, right?).
Amy! Hey, I am so glad that I stumbled across you blog! I can't believe how big your kids are getting! Looks like you guys have been having some fun! Hope you don't mind me checking you guys out! KIT!

As a child, someone in our family purchased 3 movies that introduced me to the naked female body: Invasion of the Body Snatchers (alien movie, not a porno!), Kramer vs. Kramer,and The Omega Man.
Hahaha. Yes, I remember watching Kramer vs. Kramer with the family!! Didn't Mom and Dad keep raving about that movie saying how good it was...then we watched it and Dad almost died! I mean I even remember that one and I'm pretty sure I was young...But I didn't know the Goonies bad in it had anything in it!!! That's crazy
Oh- Polly Anna.. I had forgotten about that treasure. I better order that one! Thanks for the reminder!
