Man on Kayak Stalked by Great White in Mass.

This would have totally freaked me out. I grew up in New England and used to swim far out in the ocean with no fear. When there would be swim at your own risk signs because the waves were so huge my friends and I would still go swimming (we were teenagers) and get such a rush. Now I'm afraid to swim over my head.

I pulled my 11 year old off of Minecraft last week to watch the scene where Alex gets killed on the raft. And poor Pippen--the black lab fetching the stick died too.

Am I bad Mom? He was more interested in getting back to playing Minecraft than the movie.
