Adult Swim

Shay has his own t.v. in his room, and generally he watches cartoons when he's not playing video games. He has no access to the movie channels because I programmed them out of the t.v. No worries, right?
Well, he's been talking about a show called "Robot Chicken" that's on the Cartoon Network. It's on at like 10pm, which I don't consider to be super late. Well, I finally recorded the show to see what all this funny stuff was he's been bragging about. He bugged me to record it, actually.
After watching a half hour of masturbation jokes, pedophile jokes, toilet jokes, boob jokes, and some pretty sick bloody stuff, I realized that Shay's been watching this all along. Oooooh shiiiiiiiit.

I pride myself in keeping track of what he's exposed to, so this was a huge fuck up. And now I've got to be the bad guy and block this channel from his t.v. I'm sure since it's Cartoon Network he will invest the time and effort to figure out how to UN-block it. Crap.

On a positive note, we talked Steve into going out on the boat yesterday. It was his first time on the lake in two years (during the summer, anyway) which is funny because he has two very nice boats. He gets pumped up to go out, but then he sees how hot it is and he backs out. It was a major victory, getting him out on the water in July.
We took Shay and his little buddy Aaron, and they enjoyed plenty of diving time, doing backflips and front flips off the back of the boat.
