I'm quite sure the kids don't notice half of what we worry about. <BR/><BR/>And I know what you mean about TNG...I actually don't think there was one Star Trek spin off the didn't have a female who's character was defined in part by a skintight uniform!Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05895897568006441289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1776222898849461648.post-551931735117921662008-06-20T09:08:00.000-07:002008-06-20T09:08:00.000-07:00I tried to show my kids some Star Trek Next Genera...I tried to show my kids some Star Trek Next Generation. I had not seen it since the early 1990s when I was single and childless. At first they were okay (not watching them in order just for the record). <BR/><BR/>Then there were some with really flirty behavior with some aliens trying to mate with the Trekkies!!!<BR/><BR/>I also had forgotten how sexy some of the costumes were.<BR/><BR/>One episode I believe had a woman alien with three breasts. The kids were surprised at that one.<BR/><BR/>One episode the transporter malfunctioned and melted the people into the floor. THat was it for my older son. YOu never know what will bother him. He had a nightmare about it. I think he was 7 or recently turned 8 at the time.<BR/><BR/>So the sexiness thing was not the reason we stopped in reality but I'm glad we stopped it. YOu just don't know from one episode to the next if it will be 'tame' or too mature for kids.<BR/><BR/>It is funny how we forget certain things about old shows we used to watch and how we perceive them differntnly with our Mommy Eyes.ChristineMMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17388497877158577422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1776222898849461648.post-84568358446686203162008-06-19T13:06:00.000-07:002008-06-19T13:06:00.000-07:00:D Hope you weren't there all night!:D Hope you weren't there all night!Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05895897568006441289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1776222898849461648.post-89138545192503652832008-06-18T18:55:00.000-07:002008-06-18T18:55:00.000-07:00I want to stay now, just stare at the screen to se...I want to stay now, just stare at the screen to see what the heck you say next! :DJJ Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03493570025415687789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1776222898849461648.post-88865954521618845622008-06-18T18:30:00.000-07:002008-06-18T18:30:00.000-07:00Lorraine - Yes!

I just chased my two off of YouTube because M was clearly anguished by a cartoon Kirby getting into a frightening scrape.<BR/><BR/>Congrats on being a hip Mom now! I too am hip, I reminded myself as such when the woman at our first tryout of a U*U service this past Sunday told a tale of her biological father not speaking to her because she's bisexual and how he had tried to drown her mother when pregnant. My eyes shot to the kids for a reaction. None. They were bored to tears... (the kids program room was not in use because the leader of the kids program was absent). <BR/><BR/>At worst I thought Hope would probably construe it as being snail like and asexual, Michael maybe hearing the word by and sexual. The whole almost drowning bit seemed to wiz right over them.<BR/><BR/>Then there was the man wearing a skirt... (an African garment perhaps?) they didn't say boo about that! (But I garnered several peeks)<BR/><BR/>Oh isn't it cool being so hip :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
