Setting: Setting: my living room, Wednesday night at 8:45 p.m. (I should tell everyone that Whitney is an animal lover, can’t decide between being a vet or a zoo keeper or a professional sand volleyball player)
Whitney: I’m watching “Your Worst Animal Nightmare” on Animal Planet
Me: um hmmmm
Whitney: MOM!! Look at this! This guy is getting eaten by an alligator and his son is watching.
Steve: Cool!!
Me: (Speechless, too disturbed for words.)
Whitney: The one they showed earlier, this guy was on a fishing trip on an island and when he went to sleep that night a snake got in his sleeping bag and bit his face and his neck and he had to go to the lighthouse to get a signal on his cell phone and call 911 and had to be airlifted out and then he had nightmares for years and would wake up in the middle of the night and check his room with a flashlight looking for snakes in his room…and….
Me: I’m never sleeping again.
Aren't they amazing? They can be so brave about some things.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter told me Friday evening that she's considering a career in criminal psychology because she loves the twisted criminal mind. It fascinates her. Do you think it's just a phase they go through or are we raising little freaks?
