City folk trying to milk a cow

I'm sitting here. The TV's on in the next room. A movie. City people go into the witness protection program and hide out in a tiny rural community. And guess what. They're trying to milk a cow.

They do this every time. Which is one reason it's so stupid. City folk know how to milk cows because it's been explained to them over and over in every single movie ever made about city people who find themselves in the country.

And I've seen this in two movies. A family is held hostage. One of the children gets hold of the criminal's gun. And what do the parents do? They yell at the kid to PUT THE GUN DOWN. It happened in The Ref, and it happened in some British movie I saw.

The kid is holding the gun on the criminal. They should be yelling at him to shoot! Shoot!

It most cases, it's probably good for parents to provide their children with guidance as to whether to actually shoot someone. But I think I would tell young people that, if their family is ever taken hostage and they get hold of the gun and are holding the criminal at bay with it, and if their parents are yelling at them to PUT THE GUN DOWN as the criminal edges closer and closer to them, telling them they don't have the guts to shoot a man while looking him in the eye, that they would be well advised to shoot him right then.

It's like old episodes of The Big Valley. Miss Barbara Stanwyck is taken prisoner, but when she gets her dainty ladylike hands on a gun, she just waves it around until they take it away from her. How many people have her sons killed on that show over the years? Can't they let the women kill a few for once?
