As I was babysitting my nephews and niece last week, I was reminded of how sweet it was to have a summer break from school. Time to play outside, swim, eat ice cream, throw water balloons, sit out on the driveway and talk to the neighbors….

Then after it got dark, we came inside, and they wanted to watch “Little House on the Prairie.” Hahahahahahahahaha….No lie. The boys wanted to watch that over Star Wars. It was crazy. I’d forgotten how awesome Mr. Edwards, Harriet Oleson, and Reverend Alden were. Like when Mr. Edwards went to a bar and ordered whiskey and a scantily-clad “waitress” delivered his drink… A lot of stuff went down on LHOTP, but there was always a moral to the story. Our parents didn’t mind if we watched it because those things were shown realistically and not glorified or glamourized. Like when Albert was having withdrawals from his morphine addiction… that did not make me want to use drugs. In fact, I will have nightmares about that forever. He was awful to those around him and was weird and in A LOT of pain. He was MESSED UP. Anyway, pretty realistic stuff on LHOTP. Not like the party shows on MTV. I sound like I’m eighty now, but, seriously… word.

This post has nothing to do with photography, but it is my website, so I guess I can say whatever I want. FINALLY… just kidding.
