Sleeping One The Job

We are very careful about what our kids watch on television. Tivo is a mom’s best friend in protecting little kids from a lot of garbage they shouldn’t be watching. With the help of such wonderful technology, we don’t even let our kids watch commercials . . . which is why the following interaction in the van the other day took us by surprise.

Cole: Hey Mom, there’s the number you can count on.

Off to the left we could see Cole was pointing to a Super8 motel sign along the freeway. Totally surprised that he would know their advertising bi-line David asked,

“How do you know, Cole?”

I saw it on a commercial when you and mom fell asleep.

We learned years later about stuff our kids watched at the neighbors house that we never let them watch at home. They think they were so smart. Garbage in, garbage out! They still laugh about it all. Good thing I was not into blogging back then. They would have been at the neighbors house all day along...ahhhh!

Hi Beth! I ran across your site and wanted to say "hi!" I can't believe how big the kids have gotten. I remember when Jonathan was in diapers!

I love his honesty! Tivo sounds like what we need around here. There just isn't a lot of quality shows on for kids these days. I also monitor very closely and would love to block out the commercials....especially around Christmas time when they show all of the new toys! :)
