Child's Unfettered Imagination Causes Problem

After my son Alex asked for another impossible Christmas gift-- a radio-controlled flying skull-- my wife said: "This is why we need to let him watch some TV, so he can see some commercials and know about some real toys we can actually buy."

  1. I totally agree with Catherine - Alex needs more television viewing time.

    I was raised on television and while yes, it probably contributed to what I like to call my slight "hyperactivity", more importantly it also contributed to my ability to function in everyday society, relate to common culture, and easily assimilate socially... ie. not spend Friday nights playing the banjo, no dead bodies under my porch, etc.

    Whereas you, Dave... hmm, I'm assuming you didn't watch much television growing up...
