When my teenagers asked me if we could go see A Minecraft Movie when it came out, I jumped at the chance — they hardly even want to eat dinner as a family any more, let alone go to a theater together (in public!) and watch a two-hour movie. So when I said I’d get the tickets, my 13- and 17-year-old had the same enthusiastic response. “CHICKEN JOCKEY!” they yelled in unison. My 19-year-old didn’t yell, but he smiled at the reference.
