Mob Family- March 26, 2013
Last night Charlotte and I came down after her bath and Greyson was watching TV.
Greyson: “Goodfellas is on.”
It’s pretty much understood that when Goodfellas is on, you just watch it. I mean, that movie is amazing. You don’t NOT leave Goodfellas on. Right? I stood in the living room and stared at the TV. We got sucked into at least five minutes of Henry’s story as he met Karen.
Greyson: “This movie is so awesome.”
Me: “I love this movie.”
Charlotte: “I love this movie too!”

Whoops. I scooped up my tot and whisked her away from the mobster excess. It’s cool, the blow and pistol whipping weren’t in any of the scenes she saw. All of Joe Pesci’s lines were made safe for TV with “freakin.” Still, maybe the only time to not watch Goodfellas is when my impressionable toddler is around. Parents of the year, 2013.
“You know, we always called each other goodfellas. Like you’d say to somebody: You’re gonna like this guy, he’s all right. He’s a goodfella. He’s one of us. You understand?” -Henry Hill (Ray Liotta), Goodfellas
