I have never heard a K.W. song, though, because I'm a hip-hop moron. Happily so.<br /><br />What a week it's been for rude behavior! I'm glad you're there to set them all straight, Jacqueline. Actually, I wish you were at the MTV Awards and the US Open and the Joint Session of Congress to set all <i>them</i> straight. Maybe you can get a Cabinet post: Secretary of Polite Behavior. Your motto can be, <i>"All's you have to do is <b>not</b> be an a-hole...."</i><br /><br />EllieMe, You, or Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13159195620327366257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146073139129271180.post-90505061042032318132009-09-16T10:26:59.396-07:002009-09-16T10:26:59.396-07:00I love how you are using these moments that are pr...I love how you are using these moments that are pretty sad and petty to teach your kids so much...including forgiveness.Melissaand3boyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04965516656354593717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146073139129271180.post-27709084761846353242009-09-16T09:03:07.279-07:002009-09-16T09:03:07.279-07:00P.S.

I'm glad to know that MTV is teaching some lessons, even if indirectly and by accident.<br /><br />(oh, central PA, do you remember Video killed the radio star? to be young again...) <br /><br />You're a good mamma, J. You (and your DVR) managed to teach your kids good stuff using subject matter that really means something to them personally, therefore will stick with them. Talk about a teachable moment! <br /><br />BethMe, You, or Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13159195620327366257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146073139129271180.post-14416142616660238682009-09-16T06:07:55.988-07:002009-09-16T06:07:55.988-07:00Amen to that!
We don't get Mtv but my kids and...Amen to that!<br />We don't get Mtv but my kids and I were up to speed that night with the help of Facebook chatter that lead to YouTube watching that lead to Mtv online...you get the picture.<br />This all comes after my 12 and 8 yr old girls went to their first ever concert with me last month and it was TAYLOR SWIFT. Add to that, she came into the crowd for 2 songs and stopped to HUG my 12 yr old!! I think I was more overwhelmed than she was. (I explained to them that Taylor set the bar way too high and that they will go to many a concerts and NEVER have that happen again...did Shaun Cassidy, Jerry Garcia, Eric Clapton, Mick Jagger ever come give me a hug?! )<br />Anyway..we love Taylor and she certainly handled it all with grace. And it was good to see Kanye humbled and see Beyonce continue to set the standard for class.<br />So many lessons in such a short span of time...and with such a varied cast of characters :)sharing your lessons in Central PAnoreply@blogger.com
