Many parents are hard pressed to explain to their kids why some movies, music, books, and magazines are not acceptable material for them — to see, listen to, or read. One parent came up with an original idea that is hard to refute. The father listened to all the reasons his children gave for wanting to see a particular PG-13 movie. It had their favorite actors.
