The 13-year-old has been developing a fear of fear itself, like pointing a mirror at a mirror. So, I’ve decided to start walking them through a carefully curated set of scary movies.
First up was Speed. The kid was terrified to start, but then grinned the whole way through.
Next weekend, I intend to show the kid Aliens and T2, because I think they need to meet Ellen Ripley and Sarah Connor.
