day 119: Channel 191

Picture this, if you will:

I am in the kitchen, with BBQ chicken, corn, and noodles in the works for supper.

The girls are in the living room, acting as if they've been downing pixie sticks because they're SO EXCITED for our dinner guest.

In an attempt to get them to chill out slightly, I hand them the remote and tell them to find something good to watch.

They land on Channel 191. Currently playing: Cops.

"Oh, sweet! Mom! Cops is on!"

And then they all plunked down on the carpet for a solid 15 minutes and watched. Silently. While I stirred the corn and browned the chicken and drained the noodles. Cops.

Next followed the re-enactment. There was some sort of disorderly conduct in the living room. Then came throwing the criminal to the ground. Then the cuffs.

Seriously.

My three girls, plays cops and robbers.

I cannot make this stuff up, folks. Saw it and heard it.

Wanna guess if they get their love for this show from their Dad or me?

If he were here, tonight's scenario would have been different in two ways:

1.) The girls would have sat with him on the couch, not on the floor.

2.) In the re-enactment portion of the evening, he would've been the cop, throwing them down, handcuffing them, and causing much laughter and smiles.
