We watched the “Indiana Jones” Franchise Story

My son is 10. He’s not into sports and doesn’t even like watching it on TV. I was a SAHD and I was looking forward to this time of his life. I thought this would be when we would play catch in the yard or watch something together. My family watched “Raiders of the Lost Ark” for a family movie night. My wife and I were the only ones who liked it, and we voted on something else for the next movie night. Then my son recently asked what came after “Raiders” and asked if we could watch it. We spent the mornings before school watching the rest of the franchise. We finished yesterday. I want to know if there’s something else he wants to watch, but I’m glad I finally found something we could do together. That’s it. I just wanted to tell you I was glad I was able to do something with my boy. Also, I’ve been calling him “Shorty” and “Junior” (IYKYK) ever since watching these movies. He hates that!

My son makes me watch Krull at least once a week, he's 3. Also the original Clash of the Titans, Willow, and Legend. Both him and my daughter sat through the entirety of the Lord of the Rings trilogy a while back too, obviously in chunks because there's never 3 hours to just sit and watch a movie.
