21 Pop Culture References You Make That Go Over Your Kids’ Heads



One of the proudest moments I've had as a father was recently, when Harrison Ford crashed his plane on a California golf course back in March - I was explaining what had happened to LBA.  I asked him if he knew what I had immediately thought of when I heard about it.  He paused for a moment, I hinted to him that I was thinking of a movie line - and he immediately came up with the above.  There are occasions when LBA, Mrs. BA, and I will tell the other "I will text you"

So I'm fairly confident that LBA would get most of these. Via BuzzFeed

1. When you leave the room for a few minutes (it's possible that LBA may already do this):
Orion Pictures







2.  When your kid asks if you like the new Ariana Grande song:
NBC







3. When your kid runs to their room and slams the door (although slamming doors in our house means you lose your device for a period of time):
Morgan Creek









4. When your kid asks for milk, then whines that they want something else:
Dreamworks









5. When you drop your kid and their friends off at the mall (LBA recently discovered Rick Astley, unfortunately):

12. When your kid wants you to get up off the couch and play with them:
LifeCall








13. When you tell your kid you’re going to buy them a pony and they buy it hook, line, and sinker:
