FIVE THINGS I'VE LEARNED FROM FILM & TELEVISION THAT I'M MAKING OUR CHILDREN LEARN.

1. Vulcan greeting (Star Trek).
2. Crane Kick (Karate Kid).
3. How to make huge, sweeping statements and melodramatic pronouncements about life's little happenings in poetic and interesting ways (Anne of Green Gables).
4. How to express appreciation for a good meal (What About Bob?).
5. The importance of developing a mysterious and charming smile and doing nice little things for others without recompense or credit (Amelie).
5b. How to show someone you're excited to see them (Elf).
5c. How to sing enthusiastically and un-self consciously in public (Elf).
2b. How to enthusiastically and ambidextrously swordfight while carrying on a conversation (the Princess Bride).
3b. How to sing holiday songs together in an automobile (Christmas Vacation).

Others?
