Brownies

[insaen1]

Many parents are hard pressed to explain to their youth why some music, movies, books, and magazines are not acceptable material for them to bring into the home or to listen to or see.

One parent came up with an original idea that is hard to refute. The father listened to all the reasons his children gave for wanting to see a particular "R" Rated movie. It had their favorite actors. Everyone else was seeing it. Even church members said it was great. It was only rated "R" because of the suggestion of sex...they never really showed it. The language was pretty good...the Lord's name was only used in vain three times in the whole movie. The teens did admit there was a scene where a building and a bunch of people were blown up, but the violence was just the normal stuff. It wasn't too bad.

Even if there were a few minor things, the special effects were fabulous and the plot was action packed. However, even with all the justifications the teens made for the "R" rating, the father still wouldn't give in. He didn't even give his children a satisfactory explanation for saying, "No." He just said, "No!"

A little later on that evening the father asked his teens if they would like some brownies he had baked. He explained that he'd taken the family's favorite recipe and added a little something new. The children asked what it was. The father calmly replied that he had added dog poop.

However, he quickly assured them, it was only a little bit. All other ingredients were gourmet quality and he had taken great care to bake the brownies at the precise temperature for the exact time. He was sure the brownies would be superb.

Even with their father's promise that the brownies were of almost perfect quality, the teens would not take any. The father acted surprised. After all, it was only one small part that was causing them to be so stubborn. He was certain they would hardly notice it. Still the teens held firm and would not try the brownies.

The father then told his children how the movie they wanted to see was just like the brownies. Our minds are tricking us into believing that just a little bit of evil won't matter. But, the truth is even a little bit of poop makes the difference between a great treat and something disgusting and totally unacceptable. The father went on to explain that even though the movie industry would have us believe that most of today's movies are acceptable fare for adults and youth, they are not.

Now when this father's children want to do something or see something they should not, the father merely asks them if they would like some of his special brownies . . . and they never ask about that activity again.

Poop is evil?

[Inferius]

I am so glad I was raised by a normal, mentally healthy father.

[rottenPauL]

wtf was that????

[Love Street]

its strange parenting like that, that causes kids to snap and kill and go on killing sprees

honestly you cant compare the suggestion of sex to DOG SHIT... so am i to assume that this father is telling his kids that sex is evil or unacceptable? just you wait thats why little suzy isnt going to be able to have an orgasm when shes 25, she blaims it on her boyfriend and it really gets to him, finally he releases all his pent up frustration by climbing a top a roof and picking 7 people off with a sniper before he turns it on himself and takes his own life

he should have let the kids go see the movie...

[Inferius]

However.
Any child, or children, who don't call child services after their father suggested dog shit as a special treat might not be intelligent enough or psychologically firm enough to handle seeing an R rated movie.
I feel extremely bad for children like this. It's like the amish teenagers who go out into the world and become major drug addicts/lowlifes becuase they have no understanding or concept of the Real world. (there was actually a real documentary about this, eventually, after a few years of hardcore real life they usually all come back to the Amish lands)

if he was my dad, i would grab one of his brownies, eat it and say: "MM that shit is actually goooood" and the next day I might treat him a real brownie

my mom read me the exact thing when i was little like 9 i think, i simply replied "the problem with your theory is that certain things can be done in little amounts and not effect you but some things even in the smallest of amounts can be deadly, you wouldn't compare eating a tiny tablespoon of toxic waste to lying to your teacher and telling her your dog ate your homework would you? poop and language are two very different things in different categories... how could you possibly make a comparison?"

[FAllout]

OK thats fine if Sex, violance and drugs=poop in your mind.


In my mind they would be something more tasty like burritos.

The kids are the ones who really miss out little Johny should have maned up a little and took a big bite of baked doggy dodo to earn him self a fun night out!

If you have done your job as a parent then the content of a movie should not matter. Its the parents job to explain that movies are fiction and actions taken within the movies should not be acted out in real life. That father must have been a scientologist.
