My daughter is...well, odd.

Published on August 8, 2004 By dharmagrl In Home & Family

My almost 12 year old daughter saved up and bought herself 'The Sims' for PS2 a couple of weeks ago.

I watched her playing for a bit this afternoon. Her characters were being retards...one of them overflowed the toilet, then slipped in the water on the floor and hit their head, and the other one caught themselves on fire whilst using the stove. She didn't try to save herself, she just stood there and burned to death.

I asked Shea if her characters were..."all there". She said "No, I made them as dumb as I possibly could and named them Jessica and Ashlee Simpson"

Ah hahahahahahaahahahahahah!! Man, I have weird kids!!

There's no way in hell Jessica Simpson has an IQ of 160. Maybe 60....

I just had this very long conversation over the weekend about how I am becoming incresingly more and more upset with how this country seems to be raising its children to be morons. For some reason, its started to look like we (as a country) are really putting a lot into idiotic concepts in film, music, and television as well as in other ways. For instance.. why is it commonly accepted as being okay for people to type like this: "hey whats up yall this is ashley here new too ne ways yeah umm i was wondering if u saw dropping daylight becuase i did at ky jr warped tour they fuckin rocked" (Thats an actual quote from the bands message board and its not even the worst of it.) Not only is that accepted, but we keep turning out shows like the Simple Life and Newly weds, and kids are watching these shows and looking up to these people.. and it just keeps getting encouraged and happening more and more often and I seriously believe that its just contributing to how the kids (aka our future) are going to turn out. Its really, really scary to me.

I guess what I'm saying is... Your daughter DEFINITELY gives me hope. I love that shes thinking like that.

I am going to go write an article about that tangent that I just went off on, because I Strongly believe in it.

Jessica Simpson is an intellectual Goddess, and her mother, the ineffable Marge, is a sexual icon for the ages....

Nah, she's not weird by any sense of the word!

My room mates kids are here on the weekend, ages 8 and 13.

I am often surprised at how media savy they are. lol Often at my expense.

Like last weekend, the 8-year-old, out of a clear blue sky said "Hey Len....guess what?" (What, Chelsey.) "I just saved myself a ton of money on my car insurance by switching to Geico!" My stomach hurt from laughing so hard!

She certainly wasn't being serious, and it was fully intended as a joke. Touche'. She got me and she got me good!

It was just one of those moments when I realized that they (kids) are not completely unaware of everything that is going on around them.

That's brilliant!

My son informed me today that he knows the whole Pepto-Bismol commercial jingle, and he proceeded to sing it the entire way around the grocery store. Slightly embarrassing....
