This weekend, William was all about playing his Scooby Doo game one the Wii. He loves watching Scooby Doo, and add in an interactive component and he's all over it. It's actually a pretty well done game and I enjoy it too!
Anyway, suddenly, I notice that Mary Grace is nowhere to be found, so I pause the game. I go to the second floor and call "Mary Grace?" No response. Again "Mary Grace?" "I'm in here Daddy."
So I got into her room, which is empty, and open the closet door. Way in back of the closet, behind all of her clothes, a little head pops out. "What are you doing back there?" I ask.
"I was just playing on the iPad." "Ohh, What are you playing?"
Umm. I was... Ummm".
At this point I'm sensing some potential deception coming my way
"I was watching something." "Oh, what were you watching?"
"I was watching Netflix." "Oh, Netflix. What were you watching on Netflix?"
"Ummm. I was watching...." "You don't remember?"
"Well, there's this movie that I've always wanted to see"
"So I saw it on Netflix and I was watching that" "Oh, what movie is it"
"Umm... Umm... It's Tangled"
Anne had been scanning that movie to make sure it was appropriate for the kids, since Disney movies cannot be trusted blindly. Mary Grace must have launched Netflix and that movie came up to resume.
Long story, I know, but it was just so cute that she went to such lengths keep us from knowing she was watching a movie that in the end was target marketed to her
