Clarification

Apparently, I need to read comments...so here is the copy and paste:

"lol...made me think about dad with my remote.

and him getting stuck on "Sex Rehab with Dr. Drew".

that was funny.

that really is mean.

He's only 76... Grandpa Lee was at least in his late 80's and had prostate cancer to go through to blame the whole mess on."

Okay.  So I assumed that people read my blog and know the story.  Here is the story:

Dad thinks he knows how to work my remote.  He doesn't.  Every time he insists that he can do it, but he doesn't figure it out...too many buttons...the same problem I have trying to use the dvd player during my Sunday School class...anyway...  This time, we didn't argue with him, just let him do it.  Because he insists he knows how.

So he pushes buttons while muttering.

I was in my room folding laundry, I hear Doug say, "That's Sex Rehab with Dr. Drew, I don't think you want to watch that."

I come out.  And yup...dad has pushed buttons and ended up on that show.  But he continues to say that he knows what he's doing, so we both just stay quiet while he is busy punching buttons and not getting anywhere.

A few minutes later, he finally gets the channel to change.  It changes to some incredibly stupid pre-pre-school show.  At which point dad is frustrated...I pat him on his shoulder and say, "I don't think I like the shows you pick dad..."  and go back to folding laundry in my room.

It was funny. 

Margaret thought so.  Doug thought so.  Brittany and Jaycey thought so.  Even dad thought so.

So what I posted awhile back was not mean.  Dad was there, he appreciated the humor of the situation.

In no way did I infer that dad wanted to watch the show.  And, although I'm not a watcher of that show, I believe it's for people who are addicted to sex...not for people who can't have sex.

And in no way did I infer that dad can't have sex.

His (and grandpa's) sex life is none of my concern.  That's his and Margaret's personal business. 

I do know that he doesn't have prostate cancer...knock on wood...and hopefully, he goes to the doctor often enough now that any physical problems (be it his heart, diabetes, skin, lungs, stomach, etc.) that he has will be caught before they become worse. 

So I stand behind my earlier post.  It was a funny moment.  It wasn't mean in any way.  And dad is welcome to read each and every post that goes up on here. 

So...perhaps another "rule" for this blog should be:  no picking fights. 

Because this was fairly ridiculous.

And even dad said that.  Because remember...he was there...he wasn't offended...I would never do anything to hurt him, especially in a public forum of any sorts.

That's all....I'm over it...I know the kind of person that I am...I don't diss on my parents.  I may tease them, but they tease right back.
