So we watched the movie Big with the kids, you know, the one where the kid puts the quarter in the “Zoltar Speaks” machine. After the movie was over, I asked Michael and Audrey if they learned any lessons from the movie. Neither of them seemed to understand what I was asking, so I explained to them that we need to be careful what we wish for, because what we think we want, or what we think is best for us, isn’t always so. In the movie, Josh wanted to be big, but after being an adult for a while he realized that he wasn’t happy. He missed his family and friend, and missed being a kid.
After explaining all of this, Michael then shared with us the lesson he learned from the movie: Don’t stand too close to a machine that grants wishes.
For what it is worth, I appreciated your lesson lol!
Tell Michael he can stand next to the machine, just don’t put a quarter in it.
