I'll tell you straight up, I don't watch Jon and Kate Plus Eight. The Bachlorette. Yes. Rock of Love 1, 2 and The Bus. Yep. The Cougar. Of course. But not Jon and Kate. Too close to home. Why do I need to watch a mom and dad parent eight kids and argue? Give me making out and hot tubs, not real life.
But then things got interesting. And my mother, who's an avid reader of the The New York Times and listens to NPR even when she's not driving, weighed in on Jon and Kate. My mom has an opinion on Jon and Kate? Jeez, no wonder the recent episode made cable TV ratings history. Too many people care about this family. And finally there's some naughtiness going on.
Plenty a mom would sell their home life to become a millionaire. Especially if their husband has zero ambition and they have eight kids to feed. Kate's brilliant. The teeth! The trips! The front-loader washing machines! And maybe a bedroom deal to have an open marriage. Reportedly, Jon takes up with a 23-year-old woman who's crafty brother may auction his sister's Bed of Adultery on eBay. Classy. But Kate scores The Bodyguard. Genius, she is. And plenty cranky. Aren't we all?
Here's a disclaimer from Kate's 6/5/09 blog post about their recent trip to the beach: ****Disclaimer: No sand crabs, children, camera crew, or even paparazzi
were injured in the making of this blog (or "show" for that matter!)
All hermit crabs were safely and peacefully returned to the ocean
before lunch on the fifth day...and I wish I could say the same thing
about the beyond obnoxious paparazzi, but no such luck! :(
Love it. Looks like I have another show to add to my low-brow repertoire.
