It’s been insufferably hot this summer. We’ve spent many a day blanketed ‘neath a swath of steamy, smoggy air; on days like that, when simply stepping out the front door causes a full body sweat, movies come in handy. By the time summer was halfway over, my kids and I had watched every movie we own several times, but in a stroke of genius, my husband suggested a family-friendly Disney movie from back in my day I’d all but forgotten: Honey, I Shrunk The Kids.
Good ol’ Rick Moranis.
Honey, I Shrunk The Kids was huge when it came out. People went bonkers over it. As a kid, I was never a huge fan – I thought it was too far-fetched, and I remember finding Rick Moranis rather annoying – but lemmie tell ya, I was lovin’ it last month, when it shut my kids up for a full ninety-three minutes on one of the hottest days of the season.
So there I was, just starting to come around to the idea of maybe checking out Honey, I Blew Up The Kid (but not Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves – I wasn’t ready to go quite that far), when I saw this Craigslist Ad:
And now I will never be able to look at Honey, I Shrunk The Kids in the same way again, EVER. Cheerios too.
