Caught yet ANOTHER "Honey, We're Killing the Kids" last night--it was even worse than the last one. Two boys, 8 and 12, grossly overweight mother, somewhat overweight father, both smoke, kids whining every time they're refused a Twinkie...just a repeat of the last one. From the ads, I learned that the television audience was treated to another version at 10 (past my bedtime). From what I could see, it's the same old, same old, just with an African-American slant: two boys, roughly 10 and 12, who eat like hogs under the loving direction of their parents.
Okay, this is a rant on the same general topic. WHY can't people walk a few feet from the parking lot to a store? It's unbelievable how many will stop in the no parking sign to drop somebody off--often kids--just to avoid even a hint of exercise. Even worse is when they wait there for the lazy bums to come out. When I see this, I always give the perps a dirty look and pointedly and disgustedly shake my head. Bet that really scares them, too.
As I write this, beef stew is simmering away in the crockpot--smells wonderful, too.
