Who Knew?
My son sat on the couch; he was bored.
Son: “Mom, can I watch TV?”
Me: “Okay, but not for too long, what are you going to watch?”
Son: “The History Channel.”
Me: “Sure, go ahead honey.”
I walked away patting myself on the back because my son, just ten years old, was watching the History Channel on purpose. I must be doing something right.
Twenty minutes later …
Me: “How’s your show going honey?”
Son: “What’s prostitution?”
Me: “Why are you asking me that? What are you watching?”
Son: “The History of Sex.”
Me: “Turn that off.”
I walked away slapping myself upside the head because my son, just ten years old, was watching the History of Sex, and I allowed it. I must be doing something wrong.

Oh yes, the moodswings of motherhood.
I had a similar experience with March of the Penguins. I figured, Penguins, what's wrong with Penguins? There was death, penguin sex and abandonment. Ulgh.
OMG I can't stop laughing!! You're not doing anything wrong. Kids need to learn this stuff at home, after all!
LOL! Sounds like a pretty normal 10 yo boy to me!
'History' comes in many categories, Barbara! That was a great laugh.
ROFL!! Sounds like something that would happen here!!
You think you'd be safe with the History Channel!!
I'll be waking up in the middle of the night because of this one.
Don't knock yourself: he's only being a curious 10-year-old boy. Just what you'd expect in this day and age...and just what he needs to succeed in future.
Oh my, Barbara. You kill me. Hee.
Now that's some interesting history!

Oops! And there you were all pleased that he wanted to watch The History Channel!
Here from Michele's Hi!
Hmmm so this is why my 13 year old watches the History Channel I must start paying more attention.
!
What a classic parenting moment. That will be a good story when he's old enough to understand why that's funny!

Barbara, that is so funny. Naturally you would think that the History Channel would be good for kids....LOL.
Michele sent me.
Guess you just can't win, huh?
Michele sent me.
LOLOLOLOL! I love it!! :)
Didn't all the boys want to watch National Geographic when we were kids so they could see the topless African women???
Carol - You are familiar with those mood swings?
chichimama - Thanks for the warning on the penguins, i was actually thinking of getting it for my son.
Uisce - Thanks, parenting is not so easy, if you want to do a good job of it.
Karin - I hope he's normal, I would be happy with normal.
Jean-Luc Picard - I was thinking Incans, Romans, Mayans, along those lines.
Jennifer - I'm sure it will happen to you.
Marie - That's what I was thinking, that my son was watching something educational. well, I guess he was getting an education.
Carmi - You can't be too careful when it comes to your kids!
Zube Girl - Thanks - congrats on winning the Thunderdome challenge!
The Music Whore - Too bad I didn't record it.
Claire - I was just pleased he was taking a break from SpongeBob.
WendyWings - always get a remote that has a button that flips to the last channel that was getting watched. That way you'll know what they are really watching.
Karen - I better start making a book for him.
kenju - I was bamboozled by the title of the channel.
margalit - Only once in a while!
