Today, I bought How To Train Your Dragon and the cashier started complaining how her kids keep demanding dragon stuff and that mine will start after they see the movie. I don't have any kids, and I didn't have the courage to tell her I was buying it for myself. FML

Today, I rented a copy How To Train Your Dragon for my young son to watch. I put the DVD in, hit play without paying attention, and went off to make lunch. A few minutes later, my son ran into the kitchen screaming. Apparently, there was a mix up at the rental store and I got a copy of Saw IV. FML

Today, I told my son he couldn't have a toy. He threw a fit, looked me in the eye, and screamed, "Daddy's right! You are a bitch!" The whole store was watching. FML

Today, I had to patiently listen as a customer nattered on and on about how incompetent I was for not stocking the movie she was looking for. It took nearly 20 minutes to get her to calm down long enough for me to explain that there is no such movie as "Hobbits With Shotguns". FML

Today, while waiting in line at Gamestop, another customer and the cashier started chatting about how Pokémon is for kids, and anyone over 10 who's into it is weird. Embarrassed, I put the new Pokémon game back on the shelf and snuck out of the store. FML

Today, I was at Target buying four coloring books. As I was in line, the woman behind me said that buying coloring books was a good idea to keep my kids occupied. I smiled and said that it would give me a few minutes to relax. I'm a 26 year-old guy with no kids. The coloring books were for me. FML

Today, my two year old daughter did not want to leave the toy store, when I picked her up she started screaming at the top of her lungs, "YOU'RE NOT MY DADDY!". FML

Today, I was babysitting a kid for the first time. She asked if she could watch a movie, so I downloaded Cinderella for her. An hour later, this 10-year-old girl was lecturing me about unrealistic standards of beauty and abusive relationships, and how I suck for liking the movie. FML

Today, I went to McDonald's and ordered a Happy Meal with a girl's toy. The high school girls behind the counter said I was too old to be served one, and I had to go home and explain to my sick daughter why she didn't get her toy. FML

Today, while I was working at a supermarket, a kid started to cry in line because he couldn't get candy. Since we have free lollipops behind the desk, I gave him one. His mom complained to my manager and said I was grooming her child. FML

Today, I took my kids to the mall to see Santa. While waiting in line, my eldest got bored and loudly complained, "I don't know why we're here. Santa's not even real." I don't think any of the kids within a hundred feet took the news very well. FML

Hopefully you didn't get so nervous that you started to Hiccup. Of course if a guy ever laughed at me for liking kid movies then he would become Toothless.

I'm a 52-yo man, and I enjoyed the movie. George Lucas thought he was writing a kids' movie with "Star Wars". But everybody loves a good story, not just kids.

Considering how dark and violent Star Wars can be at times, especially the 3rd movie, it doesn't look like it was designed for children. It's amazing that most of the movies get by with a PG rating (most superhero movies are at least PG-13 for violence). Even the Clone Wars series can be pretty dark and violent. The 1st movie is probably the most directed towards children because Anakin was a child, Jar Jar Binks and the pod racing.

Don't even sweat it OP I have 3 kids, but I'm still an avid animation watcher/video game player. The people at the stores I frequent even gently joke with me by asking "So is this for you or the kids?". Hubby actually can tell you the names of all the My Little Ponies too because he watches them with our girls...but he knew them before that anyway lol

Why is this thumbed down? Because she mentioned her husband watches MLP? Because she's a grown adult playing video games? People need to get over themselves.

I'm 29 and I still watch cartoons and anime and play video games. You have nothing to be ashamed of. Besides, that movie, as well as the series and sequel are fantastic.

Uh so? Today, at work, I was helping a lady choose shells for her son's hermit crab, she picks up one that has The Lorax painted on it and said "my son loves the Lorax" and I was like, "Same!" (I'm turning 20 this year).
