Is this a Leo reference?
no, what's that?
Adam Sandler cartoon movie on Netflix, he plays a lizard that thinks he's going to die do to the life expectancy of his species according to something he reads, and he's taken to kid's homes on weekends they present problems to him and he solves them from his observations over the 50 years he's been in a classroom, usually through a song, one of the kid's has a drone that follows him everywhere and he REALLY hates it, he also has very overbearing parents. Leo has him write a 'dear John' letter to break up with the drone. Which does solve the problem.
Anyway. I have small children who love the movie. I've seen it 10+ times, and to be totally honest, it's probably one of the best comedies Sandler has put out in a long time. Bill Bur plays a turtle in the same tank with Leo, and the movie has a lot of very decently funny songs, not musically decent necessarily, but lyrically funny.
oo gotcha I saw that around but haven't seen it. I have 2 little ones as well so we'll check it out together. Also, gotta love Bill Burr.
ya the article idea isn't anything unique as i'm sure nearly everyone has made the connection between drones and helicopter parents but hopefully the contents of my article are unique and funny!
The new drone can hover silently or employ a “gentle hum” setting for those who prefer a more constant, oppressive presence
