TV May Be Evil...

...But it taught my three year-old to say "hypengyophobia" (the fear of responsiblity.)

In case you're wondering he learned that word from "Charlie Brown's Christmas."

  2. Yes, scary. But, not terribly surprising given how much advertising a person is inundated with from the get-go. Mason can identify a surprising number of LOGOS. Petsmart, Hom Furnature, Target, Rainbow, etc. He points them out as we drive.

    Television was invented for Netflix . . .

    All that came in the previous 80 years was just t.v. busy work.

    (we have Charlie Brown on dvd as well as all the good Christmas specials.)
