The Results Are In

The poll was a trick question. At one point or another, my hope is that John will be allowed to watch all of these programs.

John is truly excited because he'll be allowed to watch these programs at different stages of his life. Early on, he'll be allowed to watch Davey & Goliath. He'll learn all the necessary life lessons with a nice Christian message through a boy and his dog.

With Little House on the Prairie, he'll learn all about hard times, fires, floods, blindness, creepy men who wear masks, and adoption. Really, it seems that all Charles and Carolyn Ingalls did in their later years was to adopt every ragamuffin that crossed their paths.

I need not say anything about the Little Rascals. If you grew up watching them, you'd see that kids do get along. I'm tired of the people who claim that the racialist charaters (Buckwheat, Farina, and Stymie) were horrible and should be forgotten. If anything, all the kids were eqauls and got along. Plus, my hope is that John will be as spunky as a young Spanky. The best episodes featured Spanky when he was 3 or 4 years old.

As for the Warriors, it's going to be a while before John gets to watch it. I look forward to being there as he watches the movie. Hopefully, he'll enjoy it and want to put bottles on his fingers and say, "Warriors, come out to play-aaaaaaay!" If he doesn't, I'll be ok with that. Not everyone needs to love that movie.
