So Tuesday evening we were all working in the yard. Audrey was helping Jen pull weeds and Claire was trying to kill herself climbing our Dwarf peach tree. After a few hours of not quite back-breaking work, Audrey informs us that "we should just get rid of all the TVs".
SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEECH!!!!!!!
What?!?
For better or worse, Audrey is more a child of TV than I was. Who's to blame for that? Well, that would be me. And I take full responsibility for getting her hooked on the idiot box. So for Audrey to say that we should just get rid of them came as something of a shock to Jen and I. But you may safely assume that I was dancing in the grass with glee (and no, there is no video of my madly happy jig!).
After about 20 minutes of me fantasizing what life with limited TV would be like, I decide to get back to work. I go inside to grab something and I see Audrey sitting on the couch, eyes glued to the TV. I joke about how her wanting to get rid of TV didn't even last 20 minutes, to whit she replied, "I was just being dramatic".
At least she's smart enough to recognize it, and aware enough to admit it!
