Too Much of a Good Thing

Too Much of a Good Thing

So I have a very strict television rule at my house.  The rule basically being that the tv stays off.  The kids are allowed 1 or 2 shows a few days a week, other than that we leave it off.  Jeff and I don’t watch tv when the kids are awake as we like to give our attention to each other and the kids.  Very rarely are these rules broken.  The kids have amazing play skills and imaginations, I love it.  So with me being home and not feeling well I have broken the rule a couple times.  I have watched a few episodes of “Property Brothers.”  That show is awesome and it is one of the very few shows that I don’t mind having on while the kids are around.   So maybe I have watched more than a few.  Here’s how I know.

Coen and Brinley were playing together the other day and I hear Coen say “let’s play Property Brothers.  I will be Jonathan and you be Drew.  No, you be the one to look at houses.”  Brinley enthusiastically agreed and I listened as Coen showed Brinley around the kitchen pointing out some of the lovely features of our home.  Then I hear Coen ask Brinley “so how much do you think this house is worth?”  Brinley replied “$4,000”.  Coen said very seriously “no, this house cost 40 hundred thousand dollars.  Don’t you think that’s a little off your budget?” 

I couldn’t help but laugh.  It was so cute, but that was my cue that maybe I was watching too much tv!

Looking on the Bright Side…in my defense, at least I wasn’t watching Jersey Shore.  Can you just imagine that conversation “you be Snooki and I’ll be The Situation!”  Not good!
