We have made a huge mistake. We watched Kung-Fu Panda.
Not that 'Panda' is a bad movie. It's actually quite funny, but it's one of those movies that incites violence.
Example: One day when Dad was laying on the floor innocently watching TV, Hayden climbed up on the coffee table and jumped on Dad. Then he did it again.
Lather...rinse...repeat.
After a while, Hayden realized that Dad was still breathing so he decided to up the ante. He squirmed his way up to Dad's head and began to sit on it, extend to a sort of crouching position and then fall - bottom first - back to the comfort of Dad's cranium.
The thing Dad dislikes most about this is not so much that it hurts. It's that it's excruciating!
After the third episode of this behavior in a week, Dad decided to do a little investigating to figure out why Hayden needed to pulverize Dad's already softened melon. It turns out it's because that's what happened in the movie. Panda is kung fu-ing the Leopard and they fall down some stairs. While falling, Leopard lands on a stair and Panda lands on the Leopard's head.
When Dad asked Hayden why he was crushing Dad's head, Hayden said "you're Leopard - I'm Panda!"
Everything came rushing back at that point...the exact scene and everything - apparently Hayden hadn't jumped on the lobe that deals with long-term memory.
So the moral of the story, if there is one, is never lay on your floor watching TV when your 3-year old son is in the room after having just watched Kung Fu Panda. You might end up with severe brain trauma.
