Let's Be Good Citizens While Visiting
2025 • E1 Jan 9, 2025 10m
Continuing the passive-aggressively named Let’s Be Good Citizens film series, it’s Let’s Be Good Citizens While Visiting! Because even children on vacation can fail and disappoint their country if they aren’t polite enough.
Susan and Jack are classic 1950s children on a classic 1950's vacation: visiting their boring aunt and uncle at their boring farm. Meanwhile mom and dad are presumably sipping Mai Tais at a swingers resort in the Bahamas.
Susan and Jack make the most of their “vacation” by carefully selecting the appropriate shirts to wear, buttoning and tucking those shirts in precisely, and then being chastised for trying to climb up a 3-foot fence. Good citizens don’t have fun! Good citizens get punished, and they’re grateful for it! Come on children, are you trying to make Uncle Sam cry?
Will the kids get their carefully pressed clothes dirty on the farm, like the devil wants them to? Will they accompany their aunt and uncle on some chores in town?
