walkitoutToday, I talked to my son about _Only the Brave_, which he asked if he could go see (he has already seen Lego Ninjago and the new MLP movie). I did a little research, and said that he _could_ go see the movie, but I wanted him to know that most of the people in the movie died. We discussed this further: it is based on a true story, and it isn't people killing people, it is fire fighters dying while fighting a fire. After some thought, he concluded that he did not want to see the movie after all.
I keep waiting to find out that my kids want to do something that if I were a very different sort of parent, I would have told them they were not allowed to do. Still waiting. (For the record, I've never been the sort of person to make a kid wait for food if there was food around to eat, nor have I ever been doctrinaire about what kids should or shouldn't eat, which is likely where almost all such battles occur, until kids are past puberty).
Other things I did: I researched google calendar settings, and modified mine. This is probably the only genuinely, long term useful thing I did today, since I spend time every few days tracking down spam events and deleting them, and it is basically ALWAYS google calendar at fault. With luck, I won't ever have to modify anything on google calendar again (I usually access events on my google calendar via iCal, but deleting spam events on the google calendar via the iCal interface doesn't do anything particularly helpful).
I also went for a walk with M. And I drove to Savers and Staples to drop off items that we no longer want. This particular batch of items has been sitting around for a while, because we were sick and traveling and we stalled out on the decluttering. Hopefully, I'll get a chance to restart. But I doubt it; the holiday season is about to start.
