Reagan: Mommy, can I watch a show after lunch?
Me: Yes, which show are you going to watch?
R: Can I watch Extreme Couponing?
Me: Isn't there a show on that's more...appropriate for your age?
R: There's Phineas and Ferb but I've already seen it and I'm not in the mood for animation. There's Fresh Beat Band, but I think that's more for 7 years olds and younger.
Me: I'm just not a big fan of Extreme Couponing.
R: If I tell you that I know people are buying in excess and it's not really saving money if you're buying things you don't need, and that they aren't really buying healthy things...then can I watch it?
Me: Yes.
A little coffee. A lot of Jesus. Remembering the blessings among the chaos of life.

HA! I actually enjoy the show, but I've had to have the conversation with Sierra about why it isn't realistic {you know, kind of like most "reality" television}. It has prompted me to be better at using coupons, but I've only ever saved 36%. I refuse to drive to 5 different stores 6 different days of the week. And I also never buy something I know we can't use.
ReplyDeleteWhat a smarty! I haven't seen that show but have heard of it and agree completely with Reagan! :)
