Here comes a good arc!

And thus the bed wetting resumed accompanied by its pal, waking up screaming. Well done, Gene.

That’ll learn ’em.

And so, let the traumatisation begin.

Gene, you mad man!

I bet Gene’s got a plan…

Gene: "On the way there, we can also grab a cartoon of smokes and a half-gallon of MD20/20 for the rest of their “acclimation therapy”."

I think the dad is going to be revealed to be a wimp. To help out the kids, I saw Godzilla 1985 when I was cried at the end (although Godzilla was the villain).

Well Gene can stay up with the kids when they have nightmares.

Great. Kevin and Miles won’t sleep for weeks after seeing Chainsaw Cabin™ EYE.

I know where this arc is going. To the movies!

I like the dips in maturity at certain ages. An Accurate Graph.

Uh oh! He’s calling their bluff….I can bet they won’t get through it….☺️

Challenge accepted!

And the boys discover a new level of nightmares.

Having them watch an actual scary movie to see if they can handle it? That’s actually a good idea, Gene.

Reverse psychology. Good idea if it works………………..

Best way to prove your point!!

Brilliant tactic. And it works. Says me when I was 12 and mom let me stay up late to watch the 11PM Saturday night horror shows.

I agree. Dad isn’t going the boys any favors by sheltering them from real life. If the movie ends up being more than they can handle, then they lived through that lesson. Nice, Tauhid! (I particularly liked the presentation. That alone should have warranted an okay from the parents. But what about the other set of parents. What is their viewpoint?)

I’m excited for this dad-centric parenting situation!

This oughta be good.

They are buzzing with excitement, now, but I’m willing to bet the chainsaw will cut them down to size.

I let my daughter watch an unsavory movie with friends for 2 reasons. 1: she asked instead of sneaking, and I honored her asking first 2: I wanted her to see why I thought it wasn’t a movie worth her time. To restrict it, at the time, might have made it seem even more mysterious and appealilng.

Nothing like scaring your kids spotless to prove a point.

The rest of the Maturity vs Age chart reveals a steep decline sometime around my current age lol

The kids will make it all the way through Chainsaw Cabin. They’ll have their hands over their eyes for most of the movie.

Gene has a plan ;-)

Man Idk what to expect. All I know is funny and disaster coming up.

Gene.. actually has a good parenting strategy for a change. And framed in a way that let’s them tap out if their truly scared.
