When you share your favorite movies, music, books, and TV shows with kids you’re, in so many ways, reliving your childhood. Remember that moment when dad read you The Hobbit and Bilbo met Gollum and you laughed at the riddles and gasped at his grotesque violence? You know that feeling of being totally lost in the music when you first heard “Magical Mystery Tour” on your parent’s stereo? Can you recall what it felt like to watch the kids in Honey I Shrunk the Kids battle with the bee? In all honesty, probably not. But that’s why it’s so fun to recreate — and to see the look on their face as they see it for the first time (when, in a sense, you see it for the first time). With this in mind, we suggest you head to the theater as a family and check out a 39-year-old masterpiece, Stop Making Sense.. Whether you love Talking Heads or not, experiencing them again for the first time with the kids is a moment worth capturing. Trust us. |
