Television is still over-reacting to the boob show at the
Superbowl.

Wanna hear something interesting? I can't assume my son's behavior (or
wisdom) is indicative of other kids, but I'll bet he's not that unusual.

A couple of years back, I had the flu. My excellent friend Mike stopped by
and handed me boxed sets of the first 3 years' of the Sopranos series. Then,
he ran away so he wouldn't get sick. A week later, I thanked him and said
I'd return them, but he said to pass them on to someone else who's nailed to
the couch with a fever. So, they're still here.

Recently, I decided my son was old enough to follow the series, so every so
often, we pop in a tape. If you've watched the show, you know there's an
occasional scene in the strip club, and actual, real genuine boobs are
shown. So, the first time, my son was somewhat riveted. The second time, we
were talking about fishing and he didn't skip a beat. At that point, I'm
sure he knew that any time we saw the front of the club, it was likely we'd
see tits. The third time, just as the girls were shown dancing, he got up
and says "I'm gettin' an apple. Ya want one?", and spent a minute washing
them. Didn't rush back in to make sure he wouldn't miss the tits.

After that episode, I said "If your mom finds out I let you watch this, I'm
in deep ****". He said "Watch what?" I said "This show". He said "What
show?" Then, he paused a moment and said "Besides, I don't know what the big
deal is. The nudity's not the point of the show. It's just where those guys
hang out." Later: "Tony's mother's really the center of the show so far.
Reminds me of grandma!*"

Kids should run the world.

*Grandma: The living, walking definition of the Yiddish word "schnorrer".
"Ma...someone sent me a box of Omaha steaks. We brought you a couple". Her:
"Oh please...those are way too fancy for me. I like the cube steaks....".
That's a schnorrer.
