Oh how the DVR has changed our lives

As a child of the 21st century, Meredith would not recognize the way I grew up. When she wants to watch a TV show, she knows that mommy and daddy can turn on the TV, push a few buttons, and find the exact show that she wants to watch. While this is a great achievement in technology, it does have some unexpected consequences.

The beloved Charlie Brown shows are a favorite and last fall we taped The Great Pumpkin episode for the enjoyment of our toddlers. Image my surprise to hear that the following words come out of darling daughter, "If you hold my hang, I'll slug you."

I was quite concerned with this rather harsh language that came out of my child's mouth. But, Sally sure did tell Linus that in the pumpkin patch waitng for the Great Pumpkin to arrive (I honestly thought that a line like that HAD to come out of the mouth of Lucy). However, Matt is elated. He has conqured Step 1 in future dating challenges - punch out any boy that comes close to you. Oh how our lives will never be the same again.
