As anyone who has seen a cartoon movie in the past ten years can tell you, these movies are not just for the kids any more. They have some subtle adult humor laced throughout the movie. I assume to keep the parents of the kids entertained as they have to bring their kids to these movies. If the parents find them funny, then they will be more willing to bring "little Johnny" to the movie. This is also true for the movie that SuperMom took Lu, DP, and Jr to yesterday. Lu is now at the age that she understands these kid movie jokes. DP usually does as well, although he doesn't really get jokes in general. Jr can't be bothered with figuring out those jokes. He is too busy thinking of his own. Ask mentioned previous, after repeating herself three times and finally explaining it to me, I thought they were going to see "The Good Dinosaur" yesterday. However, they went to see Alvin and the Chipmunks. There is a scene in the movie where one of the chipmunks is holding some acorns. Another chipmunk looks at the acorn holding one and says "... I'll hit you in your nuts.". To this Lu laughs a little, and you can see the wheels start turning in DP's head. He then asks SuperMom, what is he referring to? To which SuperMom said, "I believe he is referring to the acorns he is holding. Why?" DP then starts to fumble through explaining that "nuts is some times used to talk about down there" as he points downward. He then smiles like he finally gets the joke. Black and White, no gray. That boy makes me laugh without trying. He reminds me of Sheldon all the time.
