Amelia's Dad

The other night, Jimmy and I were watching t.v. and a commercial came on that had him ranting and raving. Now, Jimmy doesnt normally pay any attention to commercials AT ALL. And being the red blooded guy he is, as soon as the commercials start, he clicks that remote control like there's no tomorrow. So it was baffling to me to enter the room and encounter his outrage at the t.v. screen.

What was this innocuous advertisement you ask??????

Well, I have no clue about the product they were advertising, but I can tell you that he was incensed because it featured a young girl getting on a bike with a stranger and riding away. The commercial said something about "adventure of the unknown" (the girl was a teenager) and my husband said, "This is going to have little girls thinking its ok to ride away with a stranger!!!!!!!!!!" "Are they crazy????" "Look at the stuff they put on t.v.!!!!!!!!!!" "How are you supposed to keep your daughter safe??????????"

Ding Ding Ding----how lovely to see my husband already thinking like a Dad. Matter of fact, the only thing sweeter than becoming Amelia's mom, is watching this most wonderful man become Amelia's Dad.
