okay, so I'm watching last night's Daily Show's rerun with my son. . .

[stellanoir]

Understand. . .he has cable and I do not, primarily 'cause I don't want or need it. He normally plays video games during the commercials. I generally time it so, in the three minute commercial breaks, we have to revert to back Comedy Central.

Tonight he decided that it would be a good idea to pretend to go to the bathroom, hand me the remote and say, "you have the power mommy." He did this repeatedly.

So after a million times of him pretending to go to the bathroom and him flying back into the room and tackling me when I switched to Tweety or CSPAN or some such thing, the Daily Show was finally over.

I had CSPAN on and pretended to be totally in lust after some lamo Rep. Congressman from Michigan who's first name was Vernon. I started ranting about how Vernon was my only true love. My kid was rolling his eyes. Vernon spoke about a "Purple energy poiicy."

My son then fired up Hendrix's "Purple Haze" on his boom box.

We then danced most exuberantly..

Am I a horrible mommy or what. . .?

4. It was a total joke

Like when I pretended to lust after Helmet Schmidt in the 80's.

My son got the joke anyway. That's why he started to blast Hendrix and then Billy Idol's latest for good measure.

I think I truly gave birth to a monster. But he's funny as hell.
