Reality Check!

Early one morning I entered the abode of group #2 and they were all watching Good morning America, as this was the week of Kathy Lee 60th birthday. Now tell me that was not a good use of day time prime time TV!  It only got better.  On this day Hota Kotb (pronounced Kabob) was hosting a guest whose role in life was that of a “Life Coach”, Need I say anymore anyone who knows us could imagine the conversation. It was at this point that Natalie came up with a brilliant idea. We should start our own TV show and call it “Reality Check”. It would focus on TV and life in general  and provide a forum to spread our intellectual wisdom among the not so well informed around the world. I even came up with a motto “An intellectual commentary (Including one Idiot) on the American way of life which is  the blind leading the blind”    For example, I will pass on the week long birthday celebration, and the “Life Coach” that is just way to easy to comment about, so I will start the “Blog reality check” (BRC) on a more difficult issue.  On that same show, Kathy Lee and Hota Kabob were drinking wine! Let’s set the scene, it is 8:30 in the morning, parents all across America are getting their young children ready for school, and of course they have the TV on to impede any possibility of conversation in the family. While the kids are drinking their juice box and eating their pack of sugar frosted pop tarts, the mother and or father, have their coffee cup in one hand and their smart phone in the other. Little Johnny is intent on watching these American icons on TV and notices that they are drinking wine. Fast forward 5 years Johnny and the kids are now home alone getting ready for school, because the “parents” have better things to do and Johnny is now 10 so he can get the kids ready for school. He comes down stairs and opens the fridge and guess what the parents forgot the juice boxes, so he looks around and finds a bottle of wine that his parents had last night.. Grape juice. Good idea starts them out early. Johnny will need a “life Coach” later in life, after all his parents did not care and the American idols could care less unless they could build a show about it. Wait a gosh darn minute the can “Why have our pre-teens turned to drinking”?   And as a side benefit it will keep the “Life Coach” in business! By the way it is 5 o’clock somewhere!
