What No Mother Will Admit
A Mother's Dirty Little Secret
Here it is: I love television.
Right now, some people are sneering and turning their noses up, but, I know there is a silent majority of people reading this who feel the same way I do. Come on, admit it, you love Dirty Jobs.
Television can save moms, dads and their children from a lot of heartache and headache. I don't know a mother alive who, at some point, hasn't been at the end of her rope, ready to explode and perhaps she has blown her top (hey, we're all human). TV is an instant pressure release valve available at the touch of a switch in every home across America and now with Digital Video Recorders (DVR) a mom can record and watch at her leisure. TV is a safe clean, healthy alternative to the mind altering drugs of the sixties, the sexperimentation of the seventies, the greed of the eighties or the beige-ness of the nineties. It's the "mother's little helper" of the Year of the Ox.
So, I say why not watch a program or two. I think family television is fun. It sparks conversation and learning. Where else can you learn how to stage your house for sale, cook a meal in 30 minutes and shear an Alpaca, all in one evening?

Post a CommentLOL I seriously don't watch TV, but used to before I got so into computers, so I get where you're coming from. Writing is my proverbial 'pressure release valve' now. ;)
Love your sense of humor!
