Last night after church, I snuggled up on the couch with the kids in front of the TV. There wasn't much on, so I decided to turn on the American Music Awards that I had recorded. Since we almost NEVER watch anything like this, I was hesitant but figured the pause/fast forward would come in handy. Boy did it ever! We were only able to watch about 15% of what the show had to offer, but I just had to share some of the keen observances the kids had.
Me: Okay guys, we can watch a little bit of this show until it gets weird. (Christina Aguilera's opening act was first.)
Carson (a mere 12 seconds later just after Christina freed herself of her modest coat to reveal whatever that was she was wearing underneath): Ok, Mom, I think it's getting weird.
Fast Forward to New Kids On The Block:
Me: Oh, hey, New Kids! These guys were really popular when I was in Jr. High.
Carson: They don't look like kids.
Avery: Yeah, are they gonna change their name?
Fast Forward to whoever it was that introduced Pink. I'm not sure who it was, but he had "issues":
Avery: Is he nervous?
Me (slightly under my breath): I think he's stoned.
Carson: What? He's moving. He's not stone!
Carson (a little later): Her name is PINK??
Avery: Is it because she wears pink all the time?
Me: I have no idea why her name is Pink.
Fast Forward through a few other award announcements and strange performances:
Avery (tenderhearted as ever): If we said we didn't like this to them would it hurt their feelings?
Fast Forward to Miley Cyrus:
Avery: I CAN'T BELIEVE HANNAH MONTANA IS REAL!!!!!!!
Fast Forward to Ashley Tisdale making an announcement:
Carson: She looks JUST LIKE Sharpay!
Me: She is Sharpay.
Carson: No she's not…she's BROWN! (I'm not sure if he was referring to her hair or to her spray tan, but clearly she could not have been Sharpay.)

I can't believe you even tried! Dan had it on while the kids were IN the house and from what I could overhear, that fast forward button got its share of work. I heard about Christina's performance. Kudos to Carson for recognizing a clearly "weird" moment!
Could we please just mention again how much I have missed you sharing on the blog...this is good stuff! I love it! And people wonder why we never watch TV. Although if there is ever a Tom and Jerry question you should use me as your "phone a friend"!!!
