[I am walking the neighbour kid home]
Kid: Did you think The Hangover was good? I thought it was pretty funny.
Me: Your parents let you watch The Hangover?!
Kid: Yeah, I can watch whatever I want. J and A can't, can they?
Me: No.
Kid: Like, I bet they'd be totally freaked out if they saw Saw. I was kinda scared when I saw it.
Me: .... um. Yeah. I bet. I wouldn't watch that.
Kid: It's pretty gross.
Me: Yep. Not my style.
Kid: You don't like scary movies.
Me: I like scary movies, but not movies that are just gross. I like suspense.
Kid: I bet you'd like The Woman In Black.
Me: You see that one too?
Kid: Yeah, it was creepy.
Me: Mmm. J and A watched the trailer with me. I'll probably see it.
Kid, chuckling: Oh, man. You know what you should see? I mean, J and A probably can't handle it, but you should see Tucker and Dale vs. Evil. I think you'd really like it.
Me: Oh, okay, cool. I'll have to check it out.
Kid: It's a bit rude, and gross, but really funny.
Me: Got it.
[weeks later I see a reference to the movie in an article and actually check out the IMDB page and - darnit - the kid is right. I think I will probably enjoy it.]
