A father of some teenage children had the family rule that they could not attend PG-13 or R rated movies. His three teens wanted to see a particular
popular movie that was playing at local theaters. It was rated PG-13.
The teens interviewed friends and even some members of their family's church to find out what was so offensive in the movie. The teens made a list of
pros and cons about the movie to use to convince their Dad that they should be allowed to see it.
The cons were that it contained ONLY 3 swear words the ONLY violence was a building exploding and you did not actually "see" the couple having sex is
was just implied sex, off camera.
The pros were that it was a popular movie block buster. Everyone was seeing it. If they could see it then they would not feel left out when friends
were discussing it. It contained a great story and plot and lots of adventure. There were some fantastic special effects in the movie and would
probably be nominated for several awards.
Therefore, since there were more pros than cons, the teens said they were asking their father to reconsider his position on just this ONE movie and
give them permission to go see it.
The father looked at the list and thought for a few minutes. He said he needed a day to think it over before making his decision.
The teens were thrilled thinking, "Now we've got him!"
The next evening the father called in his three teens who were smiling very smugly. There on the coffee table he had a plate of brownies. the teens
were puzzled. The father told his children he had thought about their request and if they would eat just one brownie then he would let them go to the
movie. But like the movie, the brownies had pros and cons.
The pros were they were made with finest chocolate and other good ingredients. They were moist and fresh with wonderful yummy frosting on them. And
best of all they had been made lovingly by their fathers hand.
They only had ONE con. The father had included a special ingredient. The brownies also contained just a little bit of dog poop. But he had mixed it
into the dough well and they would probably not be able to taste it. He had baked them at 350 degrees so bacteria was probably destroyed.
Therefore, if any of his children could stand to eat the brownies which included just a "little dog poop" and not be effected by it, then he knew they
would be able to see the movie with just a "little bit of smut" and not be effected.
Of course, none of the teens would eat the brownies and the smug smiles left their faces. Only Dad was smiling as they left the room.
Now when the teenagers ask permission to do something he is opposed to, the father just asks, "Would you like me to whip up a batch of my special
brownies?"
