I lived in L.A. for a few months. It seemed like no one there had parents. Or if they did have parents, they would deny it. ↗

My parents put everything in a trust fund for me. I won't get it until I'm 18, so I'll use it for college. ↗

Clearly this is a tough economic time, and a lot of families are hurting. So when we talk to parents, we talk about small changes for kids and things that don't cost extra money. Like adding water and eliminating sugary drinks and sodas. That's going to save money right there. Or adding a few more vegetables. ↗

You see an absolutely brilliant film later, as an adult, and you walk out thinking about what to have for dinner. Whereas something like Jaws winds up having a huge effect on me. If only my parents had been taking me to Kurosawa films when I was eight, but no. ↗
