My 3-year-old asked, “Can I watch it after nursery school?”
I said, “No, it’s for grown-ups, like Mommy and Daddy.”
When I went to pick him up later, the teacher was stifling her laughter.
I asked what was so funny.
She said, “Your son has been telling everyone all day that ‘Mommy and Daddy watch Titanic together because it’s for adults only!’ He told the class that it’s a grown-up movie that only married people are allowed to watch in bed.”
Needless to say, I had a few awkward glances from other parents at pickup.
Lesson learned: Be VERY specific with explanations when talking to toddlers.
