“But, Mama, That’s Where the Fun Is”
Conversation between Lucas and I in the car on Saturday morning:
Lucas: Aunt Adrienne, you should get a new TV, one with stations like, you know, 5 and 8 and 10, so you can watch TV shows like a normal person.
Me: Um, well, what would I watch?
Lucas: [pause] The Daily Show, The Colbert Report…. [pause] I’m not sure what else. I’m a kid. You’re a grown-up. We watch different things.
Me: I do like The Daily Show and The Colbert Report, but I could watch them on the Internet. I don’t, but I could.
Lucas: Oh, yeah! You could watch Robot Chicken at your house so Mom can delete the ones on our DVR.
It’s official: the 7-year-old has figured out that I don’t watch TV, judged me, and attempted to provide me with guidance to help me fit in better with the other adults. I guess the next step will be figuring out that I’m a bit of a hopeless case.

It gets better. If you dress up like Tek Jansen (Colbert's comic book alter ego) at the upcoming NYC Comic Con, you get a special prize. The man is everywhere. May as well watch him.

Ooo. Jason's going to Comic Con next week. I'll have to tell him to keep his eye out.
And I'm going to find me some of that ice cream. Cholesterol be damned.
