Proud Mom Moment
When your 13 y/o daughter turns on a DVR of "The Daily Show" all by herself, then remarks on a story about Netanyahu's visit to the Congressional Chamber: "Netanyahu and the Chamber of Secrets!"
I don't get these very often, so indulge me a little bit, please.
Most parents are proud when their kids get straight A's or makes their basketball/football team.
Not Dummies.
Awww... you have indoctrinated your little angel to become another mindless Democrat voter... who also hates the Jooooos.
If any of my nieces or nephews turned on the Daily Show, I would ask them which teacher suggested it.

2. Thanks!
She is developing her own opinions rather well, I am happy to say.
Is she? She's watching the same mindless garbage her mother/father watch. It's also the culturally "cool" thing to watch the Daily Show/Colbert Report.
Also, she's doomed, since her mom has a picture of a marijuana weed in her DummyLand profile.

8. they are the best. whether just exploring thought, in tune or not with our own, to hear the children
interested in the world around them is always a warm glow moment.
yea your daughter. and yea you, that you open that world up for your daughter.
You old harpy... still raging against the machine. Except liberals are now the machine...

13. Thank you!
I want to have great conversations with her when she is an adult.
I just didn't realize that would be so soon...
Hunny, here's how your exploit the government for housing, food stamps, disability, etc.

14. i have always had profound and interesting conversation with the oldest. he excels at conversation.
now he is in university and interested in so many things, but is getting his degree in philosophy, so wow.... some of the conversations.
my youngest is very informed on world events and his conversations are more.... have you heard? and that is about it, lol. but it is good to hear, that he has heard.
kids were out of district with school, so i dropped off and picked up. a good 8 miles so it gave us continual talking time. we did a lot of conversing in the car, back and forth to school.
dinner was a must.... with conversation. and over the years, i ate slower and slower.... no one leaving the table until i was done. lol. we could sit there a good hour or more, talking.
talking lets us be connected. it is a fav of mine.
Wow... your son is getting a worthless degree. You must be so proud.

15. We make sure we eat dinner together, too.
And with the TV off! Makes such a difference.
You probably sit around watching MSNBC/Daily Show at the dinner table.
