That's right. Moderation...tons of it. I think Gorillaman mistook me as some Amish wannabe that makes my kids get up at 5 to make soap or something.
We have xbox,wii,ps2,gamecube..they have the DS's even...but they have them maybe at the end of the day, and on weekends. Because there is a world outside to EXPERIENCE instead of vicariously living through tv programs.

Since when does TV show us what the real world is like, Gorillaman? Nothing is honest through the tube..it's all prewritten and staged. Even the nature shows do it.

My little 8 year old boy most likely could wipe the floor with your hinders on Halo and StarWars Battlefront, but he can also tell you the story of Beowulf that he learned from a BOOK. They don't adapt classics for children on Nick.

Lots of folks do this intentionally or inadvertantly to their children, whether teaching them to pray to a God before a reasonable age of reason, or filling their heads with nothing but baseball, so dad can vicariously check-out into the sports tunnel, with his genetic creation as his best buddy...mom's do it with their daughters, coddling, overfeeding, etc, turning them into ineffectual beings as adults, or loaded with their version of your baggage.......

Watching this family in public is worse than leering at copulating dogs or cats......

Makes me get all teary-eyed thru you..
..."vicariously stimulating!"

You can live vicariously through your son. Watching it is just as tiring. hee hee hee...
