The One Where I Realize I'm the Idiot

This morning I was watching cartoons with the kids and sorting the laundry. Because I'm busy like that.

The kids had tuned in to Tom & Jerry.

Tom was shooting at migrating ducks and hit the smallest one. The small duck fell from the sky and was disoriented.

Jerry hurried to save the duck by pushing him into a hollowed-out tree before Tom could see him.

Tom approached the area and did not find the mouse or duck.

"Pshhhfft," I said. (Because I'm nothing if not eloquent.) "Like he couldn't see the skid marks in the dust. What an idiot."

And then I realized that I spend way too much time watching House and CSI and LOST and talking back to the TV.

What? It's not normal to talk to the TV?

Seriously, I think the writers should insert short silent periods just for us to add our own comments. Sorta like blogging, I guess.

Hollywood and their blatant disregard for continuity! Pshaw!!

At least you have a mind and you're not afraid to use it. :) (I wrote "lose it" first...thankfully, I reread it - I'M the one losing it!)

I thought the same thing when I saw that episode...we watch Tom and Jerry every morning.

Thanks for teaching me to spell that word. I'd been wondering.

Pshhhfft. Good one.

I do that all to often myself. It's nice to see someone else out there does the same thing.
