It seems like there are just so many direct tv channels! My grandparents have Direct TV at their house so every time we go there, I will just look through the guide and every channel they have. They actually have a lot of what Direct TV offers, but there are just so many channels! One afternoon, my family and I went to my grandparents’ house after church. I knew right away that meant we would be there the rest of the day. While I was waiting for my grandmother to whip something delicious up for dinner, I just kept channel surfing. I think I spent that entire afternoon doing that. Just watching bits and pieces of different shows, looking at the guide while I watch shows and just taking in as much as I could. Right before dinner, I actually ended up settling on a show on the History channel. It was something about the Civil War. I knew I had a test coming up about the Civil War in school, so I thought the show might help. It was definitely more in depth than what I would have to know for my test. I got so caught up I almost did not hear that dinner was ready.

There were times when I would ask her if she was perhaps doing a disservice to our kids, making sure that they were always treated “fairly” here at home. After all, the kids need to learn that life is not fair. Shouldn’t they learn that here at home? Her answer was always that home was supposed to be the place where the family can get away from all of the wrongs and unfairness and ugliness of the outside world, and she was going to be sure that the kids knew that life was not fair, but she sure as heck was not going to favor one kid over the other just to teach them that life isn’t fair. I think she has a good point, don’t you?
