Split with reality

Saturday is grandkids day. Usually we watch a movie that Granddad has carefully chosen. But yesterday the kids chose the movie.

Two movies in fact.

The first was ‘Leggoland’ which sounded OK to Granddad.

The kids loved it. It was loud, violent, ugly, confusing, muddled HELL. The dialogues were so fast and un understandable they would have scrambled the most intelligent brain. Flashing scenes, assaulted our eyes, noise our ears. And disgust that someone, ANYONE, could dish up such tripe for kids.

The second film they chose was ‘Sonic the Hedgehog no 2’ It had a message. Hero’s must have responsibility. And it had conversations a brain might understand and several funny scenes. So it passed, just. The grandson LOVES Sonic it turns out.

Everyone can be a Hero nowadays evidently. You can be anything you want evidently.

You can save the world from the Apocalypse.

I just hope my Grandchilden can write a decent essay when the time comes. And have some logic of mind.

And that my Grandson doesn’t ‘come out ‘ as a Blue Hedgehog called Sonic and gets blue hair implants on his chest and private parts!

I wonder what his Pronouns might be?
