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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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.

My two year old got into the movie after winding up watching it with me. I had put it on for me to watch. I went and saw the second one in theaters with my boyfriend while my ex husband had my son. My point is that it's a great movie and it's just fine to enjoy movies that were made for a target audience that you are not necessarily part of.

Hey, own it OP. That movie is fantastic. I'm in my early 30s and I'm not afraid to say it is one of my favorite films. Hell, my father is looking 60 in the eye and he is the one who introduced me to it.

You're not the only one. There's nothing to be ashamed of and if she has an issue then she lived a very sheltered childhood. How I see it? Cartoons - especially from Disney & Dream Works - are for anyone! "You're dead if you aim only for kids. Adults are only kids grown up, anyway." - Walt Disney

There is no shame.

I love animated movies! If you haven't seen "Iron Giant", "The Incredibles" and "Kiki's Delivery Service" do so immediately! People who don't like cartoons have forgotten what it's like to be a kid. And they should probably be avoided. Because they are Grinches. :)

Those movies are awesome. Sorry you aren't proud of your impeccable taste in movies...

What's wrong with buying it for yourself? I may be an adult but I still love kid movies. The plot and story lines are still interesting.
