So if last night was my turn to tell bedtime stories, and instead I let the boys watch I, Robot (or, as Cookie called it today, I Am Robot), does the movie count as a bedtime story? Do I have to tell the story tonight? Can I find another R-rated movie to let them watch with me? Or does that only keep me on the hook for stories tomorrow night?

We'll need a ruling on this soon -- it's already past their bedtime, and they're here in the living room running Sonic through a casino, looking for something.

Hell, when we were in school teachers would sometimes get lazy and show movies -- and they never had to make up the class-time!
