Star Trek – The Diaper Generation
The new Star Trek movie is coming out this week. Finally. It’s been seven million years since the last Star Trek movie. I’m a big time Star Trek fan, but my kids are not exactly Trekkers. How can you not like a universe with warp drives, transporters, halo decks, Q, and the Borg? There’s obviously something wrong with my kids. Hello kids. There’s more to sci-fi than lightsabers.
Speaking of Star Trek, sometimes I feel like my life is like a Star Trek adventure. Everyday I find myself in dangerous situations and I’m forced to make difficult decisions. Make the wrong decision and my little universe implodes. BTW, here’s my version of the Star Trek prologue:
Parenting…the Ultimate Mental Challenge. These are the struggles of the USS Diaper Genie. Its 18-year mission: to raise strange life forms, to seek out intelligence and good behavior, to boldly go where no parents has survived before.

It’s a good thing she wasn’t a Star War fans. She might have named you Chewbacca or Yoda.
My husband loves Star Trek. Me, I don’t quite understand the whole sci fi thing.

Sorry, I don’t think there’s a cure for your condition.
I grew up watching the original Trek thanks to my mom, but my wife is more of a TNG fan. So she’d rather watch Wolverine instead. I think I married the perfect woman.

And she’s even a Steeler fan. My wife was laughing when my Portland basketball team was losing in the playoffs.
LOL Make those kids boldly “go” where they’ve never “gone” before. I hate the diaper genie!! Boo!
I would love to make the kids boldly go where they have never gone before, but they don’t listen to me.
I have nothing to add to this perfectly worded post.
Live long and prosper.
Hugs,
Holly

Live long and prosper to you as well. You can’t see me, but I’m making a Vulcan hand gesture right now.
I’ll be watching this newest adventure with great interest.
Oh, and the movie will be exciting, too!

Ha-ha. My movie is free, yet never sold out.
My husband is slowly turning Roo into a Trekkie. They sit and watch the “Space movies” all the time. I don’t really get Star Trek, but I do love the Star Wars movies.
I like both Star Wars and Star Trek. Maybe in the future, they can combine the two universes. That would make an interesting story line.
I’ve got my popcorn ready and my MilkDuds in stashed in my pockets. Gonna catch an afternoon showing on Mother’s Day. The wife will be with the daughters for the day. Yahooo….

I sneak in candy and soda cans. How do you sneak in popcorn?
My mom always had Star Trek on at night when I was a kid (and MASH). I’ve tried turning it on for my boys, but they don’t care for it. Only Star Wars for them.

If only Star Fleet issued lightsabers instead of phasers.
I would probably fit in best with your kids. I guess I am more in to wifi than sci-fi.
I think Star Trek is too confusing for my kids. They might like it when they are older.
My husband can’t get the whole Trek thing… May be its too “confusing” for him? Love Star Trek as a kid even more now! Live long and prosper DF!
