This is a break down of the conversation I had with my 12 year old daughter Caitlin (AKA-Tater-bug), and 10 year daughter Allison (AKA- Ali-Bob) last Sunday during the Super Bowl half time show. Now understand they can see my reaction to what is happing, and tend to ask a lot of questions.
Janet appears on stage:
Tater-bug: Hey Dad? Is that Michael Jackson's sister? She sure looks like him!
Me: Yep, that's one weird family.
Ali-Bob: What's she wearing?
Tater-bug: Looks like something Lauren (Their older sister) would wear.
Ali-Bob & Tater: Both laughing.
Tater-bug: She dances funny.
Ali-Bob: I don't like her voice ether.
Me: Yea, she's no Shania Twain that's for sure. (searching for remote)
Kid Rock appears:
Caitlin: That's that guy who sings a lot on CMT.
Allison: I don't like his music.
Caitlin: Noticing Dad's shocked look. Hey Dad? Isn't that a flag he is wearing?
Me: Yea, and he has a hole cut in it, so that it can be pulled over his head.
Allison: He just tossed it down.
Caitlin: Hey Dad? That's not right is it? You and Mom were both in the army, and Grand dad fought in the war defending our flag, and his brother died fighting and is on that wall. I think that that is real bad.
Me: That's very perceptive of you, I like the way you think Tater-bug.
Caitlin: Smiling because she knows I approve.
Allison: I don't like him.[:(!] (I still can not find the remote)
P-Daddy & Nelly appear:
Caitlin: I hate rap music.
Allison: This sure isn't Christian music, just listen to what they are saying.
Allison: Why does that guy in the white T-shirt keep grabbing himself? Dose he have to go potty? (This is what we ask her a lot when she does the Pee Pee dance).
All of us: Laughing.
Caitlin: Hey Mom? Come here, Allison just made a funny. (Mom being the wise women she is just ignores us)
Janet Jackson reappears:
Me: Why do they have to dress all the others that way?
Caitlin: I think they all look funny.
Allison: I don't think they are singing those words, watch their lips.
Caitlin: I sure wouldn't want to pay to see some one jump around a stage and mouth the words.
Me: I like the way you think Tater-bug, anyone seen the remote?
Caitlin: Smiles. (knowing she got my approval)
Justin Timberlake appears:
All of us: Who is that?
Lauren: (14 year old daughter walking through living room with phone to her ear). That's that guy who used to be a member of the Back Street Boys.
Allison: He should have stayed on the street he was behind.
All of us: Laughing.
Caitlin: Hey Mom, Allison just made another funny.
All of us: "What was that all about?" Shocked to see Janet exposing her breast? [:I]
Caitlin: They did that on purpose.
Allison: Why?
Me: That is all for you guy's, go upstairs.
Caitlin & Allison: Gladly, I have seen enough, make sure you tell us who wins
Allison: I hope it's the Panthers, because Erica (Oldest sister) lives in North Carolina.
Caitlin: Hey Dad, why do you think they did that?
Me: (Thinking quick on my feet), So I will never have to explain again why you can't watch MTV in this house.
Caitlin: I know I'll never watch that junk, but you better keep and eye on Lauren.
Allison & Caitlin: Laughing as they walk up stairs calling out to their sister Lauren who is still on the phone.
Me: Drained, thinking now what? Nothing will ever surprise those girls again.[:(!]
Dog: Standing there looking at me with remote in his mouth![;)]

Great job with the kids, their actions speak louder than words. It is evident you and the wife are raising future functional, contributing members of our society. I fear your one of the growing exceptions, vice the rule.[:(]

Many of you, heck maybe most of you, are too young to know what I'm referring to ... but the other "geezers" might be able to.
Anyway I enjoyed the show a lot and after watching it ... there's nothing that a kid says that suprises me! The're sharp little cookies, and often as not they call it like they see it.
Problem is, people tend to not listen to kids and that's a shame because of all of the interesting stuff they have to say.
If you only have time to do two things so-so, or one thing well ... do the one thing!
I don't think Satan had anything to do with the p!$$-poor excuse for entertainment that happened at the Super Bowl halftime show. I mean, as the ultimate embodiment of evil in the world, don't you think Satan would have better things to do?
Like come up with yet another reality TV show?
Your pre-teen duaghters really said all of that huh?
WORD.
Gladly? In response to "go upstairs you can't watch anymore"?
GIMMIE A BREAK.

Here is the WORD!
Who are you calling a liar? Me or my 12 year old daughter Caitlin?[:(!]
Sir I'll have you know that this child has not missed a day of school in four years. She maintains a 97% grade, and reads at freshman college level.
I realize it's my fault for bringing them onto this sight. While I'm fair game, my daughters are not. I posted this for those who I felt would enjoy reading it. It never occurred to me that some low life would attack it or them personally.[V]

I love her...
You want to hear something really sad, I heard on the radio this morning that Janet's boob it now the all-time,most accessed photo on the Internet, surpassing even the 9-11 bombings. What is wrong with people?

When 200+ million watch an event, and few see the guiding hand the great deceiver has succeeded. I count on that kind of deception when I twitch a popping bug across a bream bed or hunker down under a woodduck flyway.

"Sometimes kids are smarter then adults!!" ... OK, I hear ya, but sometimes they need some real parenting from parents who love them and are willing to speak the truth.

I didn't say that they don't. I was simply replying to the post and the parenting issues can maybe discussed in a different post?[?]
