(2007):
First let me say that I would never willingly watch the movie Jaws again much less allow my five year old son to watch it. I first saw the movie many years ago and have refused to watch it since (I don't want to ruin the ocean experience for myself). Evidently Matt has allowed Caleb to watch the movie...no, I didn't catch them watching the movie together, rather it was an incident that occurred during Caleb's bath a few nights ago. As I was running Caleb's bath water he asked me to get his plastic shark toy to play with. After tossing the toy to him (and thinking nothing of it) I checked on Caleb a couple minutes later and was horrified by what I saw. When I looked into the bath tub, Caleb had turned his plastic boat upside down and was using his shark to swim around the boat. My horror came after I noticed what looked like pools of red blood flowing throughout the bath water. Caleb had taken his Avon red bathtub finger paint and poured it into the water. I quickly realized he was re-enacting a scene from Jaws. I called for Matt to come upstairs who immediately busted out laughing then confessed they had recently watched Jaws. Warning to all parents: do not allow your young, impresionable child watch movies like Jaws...I am willing to bet a lot of money that when we travel to Florida next week, Caleb will not set foot in the ocean!
