Amy Sedaris pretty much rules in our house with the highly-entertaining-not-for-everyone, most-likely-will-offend-someone Comedy Central show, Strangers With Candy ranking amongst our most watched DVD's.
Mike alerted me to the following which I think is just fun. OK, I realize that it is just a long commercial but she is so highly entertaining.

Isn't today the day for Michael's empty victory over complaining about video games in which you reward him with the purchase of a device for use in playing video games, the one activity sure to turn him from a nice young man into a complaining puddle of whining rage?
Just checking.
Yeah, I just noticed that it was that fateful day. I won't be the one to point it out. Silly, silly challenge.I actually think that the whining increased over this past 30 days. But to point this out will lead to only more complaining.
"What to do?"
Give the kid what he wants.
I dig that Amy Sederis clip. I must show it to Applejack. She's a big Sederis fan, Amy and David.
Give the kid what he wants... Of course that's what you say, you're UNCLE HOT SAUCE. That's what Uncles do. But I have to be the anti-uncle, squashing dreams, causing angst, giving him something to discuss with a therapist.
For the record, we compromised. He gets a second chance and has to prove himself worthy over the next 4 days. This was interesting. He was grateful for the extension, but immediately began arguing whether or not day one started on that calendar day (we had our discussion at 7:30 PM) or if it started from the point of striking the agreement. So, my seven year old is an Orthodox Jewish lawyer who sets his days upon sunrise/sunset. Go figure. All this for a $15 video game controller that will cause fights between brothers. Go us!
Good thing we don't allow tv, video or computer games! I would suggest you do the same. It is so nice to have such pure and wholesome children who are not subjected to the poison of the electronic age. You might want to take a cue from us...now, where's my guitar? Slash, wait up!

I am still laughing. I actually could blame you for Michael's addiction, being that you did bring the XBOX into our lives. However, after taking a quick look at myself and Mike, I am sorry to say that they didn't stand a chance knowing that a love of video games is in their blood!
It would be interesting to lock all of the boys in a room full of computers, tvs, video games, etc yet didn't provide any electricity to them. Would they survive?
It would be a modern day "Lord of the Flies". Who would eat whom? My money would be on little Michael and Will.
Gosh, I was responsible for that x-box wasn't I? Well...I didn't win the sales contest, Uncle Denny did that! Let's blame him! Sorry. I just broke up a wrestling match between Stephen and Will over the guitar. By the way, it comes apart in two pieces. I envision a day when I take it a crush it rock star style...you know, over my head like an ax!
Happy Valentine's Day!! Sorry, we didn't get them out this year.
xox-K
Michael and Will would definitely come out alive with the knowledge that they eventually WILL get to play.
No apologies needed for no cards. I think my track record with sending gifts and cards EXTREMELY late speaks for itself. I pretty much suck. Now that I have switched from sending out Christmas cards to New Years, maybe from now on we will send out President's Day cards instead of Valentine's Day cards. Erick does have some hearts that I need to send your way though:-)
