a good family show, right?

You would think that having over 100 channels, and pretty close to the same number of acceptable movies to choose from, one could find appropriate and acceptable viewing choices for the entire family. Of course not!

Either the kids don't want to watch it, or the Daddy doesn't want to watch it. Of course!

Maybe we could all work on a puzzle, or play a board game. We have plenty of both. Of course not!

Maybe we could turn on some music, read a book, color, do a small craft project, legos....I'll even get out the play-doh. Of course not!

What was I thinking? Apparantly I wasn't. You would think I would know these things by now.

I left the room. From the kitchen, I hear the discussion between C and the Daddy.

"What about this movie, Daddy?"

"What else do you have?"

"How about this one Daddy?"

"No, not now. Let's keep looking."

"It needs to be a good family show. Right, Daddy?"

"That's right, Buddy"

"Can we watch Ninja Turtles, Daddy?"

"No, Daddy doesn't want to watch that today."

"Can we watch cartoons?"

Meanwhile, the Daddy is channel surfing. Do you know where he landed? Speed Vision, or Speed TV, or something like that. It was a Monster Truck Jam. And as C, my wonderful little four year old says, "oooooh, this is AWESOME, Daddy!"

Monster Trucks it is. Viewing pleasure had by all...except the Mommy.
