Darn you, Home Alone 3

Parental Regret of the moment:  Allowing the boys to watch Home Alone 3.   It has led to a new obsession with protecting the house from burglars.  Via elaborate, Rube-Goldberg-type traps.... everywhere. 

Mom (calling upstairs): "Boys, is your room clean yet?  You've been up there for an hour."
Quinn: "Not yet, Mom!"
Mom: "You better not be making any traps!"
Quinn: "Mom, we're protecting the house from burglars.  That's a WHOLE lot more important than a clean room!"
Mom: "I'll take my chances.  Clean. Your. Room."

UGH.  Currently there is an electrical cord wrapped around the posts of the stairwell, hooked to a fan.  I'm a little afraid to go up thereand check things out further. 

And Rob wants them to watch "Dumb and Dumber".  Can you imagine the ramifications of THAT movie?!?!?!?!
