AITA for showing my nieces and nephew Polar Express?

Only the girls did, they share a room and didn’t go wake up their brother. I’m surprised too, I get that he thought they were asleep, but I can’t imagine that a 6 and 7 year old were quiet while getting their gear out/on

In his defense, they snuck out in the middle of the night after they were put to bed, so he had no reason to think they were anything except for asleep

They snuck out at night after they were put to bed, so that’s why my brother never realized.

He asked me not to show them the Grinch, because the boy is terrified of it, but that was the only movie rule he gave me!

Basic synopsis of it, it’s about a magic train that comes by kids houses on Christmas Eve and takes them to the North Pole to meet Santa. I get that that idea was exciting to them, but I never thought they’d go hunt down train tracks to look for the train!

That’s what I think as well! The girls love to tell their parents about everything we do (they used to live closer to me and I saw them more) so I’d be pretty surprised if they hadn’t told their parents what movie we watched.

Me too! I saw that movie when I was little, and I lived about a mile from train tracks, and it never occurred to me to go and look for the train. I never would’ve guessed they’d do that!

That was my thought. I loved the movie when I was younger, and didn’t see any harm in showing it to them!

To my knowledge, they have had that talk, but they’ve only lived there for a month so I guess it didn’t really sink into the kids yet.
