I'm sitting here at home with our 10yr old and 12 yr old sons while my husband is at work. I explain to them: 'Kids, A Charlie Brown Christmas was supposed to be on tonight at 8 but it's not showing, the President is going to give a speech. Do you want to watch A Charlie Brown Christmas on DVD tonight or wait till it re-airs next week?' My 10 yr old son chimes, 'DVD' and when I ask him 'You don't want to watch the speech?' he answers without missing a beat, 'I don't want to be bored to death'
My son had a soccer game tonight and we stopped at a sports bar for a bite after the game. My husband and son arrived before me and when I got there all the TV’s were tuned to a sporting event. I said “thank goodness no Obama” and they told me it had come on but was promptly changed!
I don’t know if it was because it didn’t fit the sports theme or whether they knew it would cause patrons to lose their appetites but either way I’m glad it wasn’t on!
