CALL ME SNAKE

Like most of us, I’ve had teenagers ask me to buy beer for them but I’ve never had kids (preteens) ask me to rent a movie for them. It all came about from my watching the aforementioned “The Mist” with a friend whose soon-to-be fourth grade son goes to my daughters’ school. The boy rarely speaks to me in public but yesterday he said: “Steve, can you get ‘The Mist’ for me?” The 4th and 5th grade boys he was standing with were all enthusiastic about the idea. But the movie has a R rating and I said it was up to their parents to decide whether the time was right to rot their minds now or whether they should wait until nature took its course.
