Take 'em to a movie

Here's idea for things to do with the little darlings now that the weather is turning toward fall.  You could take them to a movie.  Animation and 3-D have improved a great deal.  The technology is wonderful.  Even better, the vampire-themed movies should be a hit.....what could go wrong?  Here's a little story about how a shared activity can have a long-lasting influence on the little gems.  That's what you want, right?  To influence them so they inflict pain upon thier parents?  You know, payback for what they did to you?

Well, here's the story.  (Unverified, or perhaps made-up, as are most of the facts in this blog.)

The arrest of an American man who broke into a woman’s house and tried to suck her blood over the weekend has sparked discussion about the impact of vampire books and movies on U.S. youth culture.
Whether pop culture played a role in the attack remains to be seen, as 19-year-old Lyle Monroe Bensley awaits a psychiatric evaluation in jail on burglary charges in Galveston, Texas.
Found growling and hissing in a parking lot and wearing only boxer shorts, the pierced and tattooed Bensley claimed he was a 500-year-old vampire who needed to “feed,” Galveston Police Capt. Jeff Heyse said.
Vampires have been a focal point of literature since Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel, “Dracula”. But fascination, particularly among young people, has peaked in recent years with the popularity of the “Twilight” books about teenage vampires and the television series, “True Blood.”
