The Cat in the Hat.
Freaking six foot tall predator in a cat suit shows up when mom is out - where the hell is dad? - and tries to talk the kids into doing naughty things. The only guidance the children have is a goldfish and their own barely formed sense of right and wrong.
When the situation gets out of control the Cat in the hat goes Pulp Fiction and brings in the cleaners. Harvey Keitel's got nothing on Thing 1 and Thing 2. They put the house back in order and destroy the evidence, just before Mom walks in the door. The Cat coolly disappears ( think Keyser Soze) and the kids never let on that anything happened.
Tell me, which part of this story is a good lesson for our children?
