Would You Rather: 90s Edition

As children, we were constantly yearning for independence from our parents. Sure, they fed us, clothed us, and put a roof over our head, but what did they really ever do for us? Movies featuring kids on their own became a sort of illicit fantasy of autonomy, a state of unlikely non-supervision to which we could eventually aspire.

So, the question is,


Would you rather:


Experience the zany madcap robber-evading adventures of Kevin McCallister in Home Alone


or

Enjoy weeks of non-stop childlike debauchery in a remote setting while assembling an elaborate parent-fooling scheme a la Camp Nowhere?


Explain your reasoning.

    I loved Camp Nowhere!
    I think I'd prefer the Home Alone fiascos...I'm pretty independent, but I'm not really over the top or one to go against authority like the kids in CN.
    Plus, I prefer Christmas to getting all bug-bitten in the woods any day!

    HOME ALONE HOME ALONE HOME ALONE!!!
    I loved those movies, still do. It'd be great to get up to the stuff young Macaulay Culkin does!

    I'd have to go with Camp Nowhere..I don't think I would be creative enough to pull off those stunts by myself but deceiving my parents...pie!

    I would have to go with home alone, just because it would be fun coming up with new ideas to stop the robbers.

    I always wanted to be home alone! Probably just so I could watch all the tv shows I wasn't allowed to watch normally.

    So Home Alone! Who would pass up the chance to get one over on Joe Pesci and the voice of older Kevin?
