When he was small, I picked which films we saw at the cinema. The very first one? The Smurfs. We had a lot of fun watching the likes of Epic, The Lorax and Arthur Christmas (no, we actually left mid-way through that one because he couldn’t be quiet).
As he got older, the choice of screenings improved – Darkest Hour, The Greatest Showman and Bohemian Rhapsody.
But now that he’s twelve? He’s asserting his choice more and more.
Which is why I found myself sitting in the dark watching Shazam!

You’re a good Mum to sit through that one (lol). I’m sure this is just the beginning of such independence of choice. Arthur Christmas is one of my newer favourite Christmas movies.

Arthur Christmas has subsequently become a favourite here as well.

Oh, yes … there will be lots of his asserting his choices now! 🙂 We saw the preview for Shazam but opted to skip that one. We’re currently re-watching all (!) the Marvel Universe movies in preparation for Avengers: The Endgame!
