Cowboy up!
Now this is what I call a "reality show"...
It was too hot to do much of anything last night, so we tuned into Ty Murray's Celebrity Bull Riding Challenge on CMT. I'm not sure if it was the fact that most of these guys had no idea what they were getting into, or just the combination of sweat and sheer stupidity, but we were hooked from the get-go. Needless to say, folks, I have a new guilty pleasure.
Most of the time the show had us laughing...seeing someone get thrown from a mechanical bull is always humorous, but the many ways that cowboys can mis-pronounce Leif Garrett's name might even be funnier.
And then the next minute we were cringing, watching through our fingers and praying that no one would get hurt too badly.
But the best moment of it all came somewhere in the middle. One of the "celebrities" uttered a word that I would not care to have used in my house, and I thought it would make a great teaching opportunity. I looked down at Ben and began my little speech about using bad language... and he innocently looked up at me and replied, "Yep, Mom, it makes 'em sounds like jerks."
I couldn't have said it better myself.
