I woke up yesterday, Halloween morning, and found my husband and son watching a horror movie marathon on TV. So I decided to join them on the couch to watch Jamie Lee Curtis get tormented by a guy in a mask. My four year old son thought it was so cool and wouldn't let us turn the channel. So he watched the entire movie. I thought that was pretty cool, no girly boy, my son. When we went trick or treating later on in the day he even told my neighbor how cool the movie was.

"You let him watch Halloween?" my neighbor asked, looking at me like I could expect to receive a house call from the department of family services in the near future.
"Um, yeah."
"He's four," she pointed out, as if I'd forgotten.
"He liked it."
My son interrupted with a very enthusiastic, "It was awesome."
See, isn't he a cool little kid?

Fast forward to bed time, and maybe it wasn't the greatest idea in the world. Said "cool kid" was whimpering in his bed because he was afraid of the dark - and there was already a night light on! We told him there was no such thing as monsters, gave him the whole low down on pretend vs. real, and then left on his closet light. Two minutes later he was beside our bed asking if he could sleep with us. The lesson here? Maybe a four year old shouldn't be watching Jamie Lee Curtis stab an escaped mental patient in the head with a knitting needle. No matter how cool I think he is.
