It'll Rot Your Brain

There are many times it seems we are worshipping at the altar of T.V. here in the DebbieDoesLife household. Remember, I have 3 boys, four if you count the husband. Men love t.v. I think television may have been created just FOR men. The sports! The action! The music! The Girls Gone Wild commercials at 2 am!!

I try to curb the insanity around here. But every now and then, the evil idiot box scores a point.

In the past few days I have heard the two younger boys giggling about some show called Yo momma. I thought it was something from Nickelodeon. There are several silly non-animated shows on there and I just assumed this was one of them.

The other morning as we were getting ready for school the youngest starts telling me all these "Yo Momma" jokes that he learned while the older one was baby-sitting for us the night before. I was brushing my teeth and doing the whole "I'm only half paying attention to you because I am trying to get ready!" routine.

He started in on his monologue/recitation:

"Mom, these are really funny, listen to this!
Yo Momma is so fat that even Bill Gates couldn't pay for her liposuction!
Yo momma is so stupid, she got locked in a grocery store and starved!
Yo Momma is so skinny she hula hoops with a cheerio!
Yo Momma is so stupid that she tried to put her M&M's in alphabetical order!"

About this time, my brushing arm slowed. Hmmmm, this didn't sound like Nickelodeon....

"Mom, listen to this....its the funniest one! Yo momma is so hairy, her nipples have afros!"

Son, Yo Momma thinks you just volunteered for an ass-chewin', I mean lesson on what are appropriate jokes and what are not. Damn t.v.
