“Cause we fit together like a hand and glove, just to be with you is all I’m thinking of...”
“Baby” by Brandy has always been one of many songs I enjoy listening to. While this upbeat tune, about a love interest or teenage crush is cute in and of itself, the music video is even better. It makes viewers want to dance and was also age appropriate for Brandy fans and the singer herself, upon the release of her self-titled album. Now, how can we get rude parents who bring their babies to the movie theater to not only understand what age appropriate means, but also adhere to this standard of behavior or social etiquette?
If your child is under 2 years of age, why, oh why are you bringing him or her with you to see the comedy “Horrible Bosses” or the action flick, “2012?” The last time I checked, the former film is Rated-R and the latter is rated PG-13. Baby’s don’t care how funny Jennifer Aniston is nor do they care if John Cusak can save the world -- that is why Hollywood makes movies like “Shrek” and “Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked” -- to accommodate moviegoers of all ages.
Since parents are going to do what they want to do anyway, there are ways to make the thought of movies and babies in one room seem a little less annoying -- beyond the movie theater, of course.
The next time you host or attend a baby shower, play a photo guessing game that features scenes from movies about babies, parenting or kids. Here are game sheets that I made, along with an answer key that you can print out on blue paper if the baby shower is for a boy and pink, yellow or any other color you prefer if the newborn baby is set to be a girl.
Object of the game: Name the movie that corresponds with the trivia fact and photo for each number.

and enjoy!
Do YOU think that babies should be admitted in movie theaters?
