Influenced Easily

t is great to see our 1st daughter growing up. At times we forget that at the age of two they know so much more than you think, and they sure pay attention to everything around them. One night I was busy doing something downstairs, working away. I came upstairs only to find my husband on the phone and watching UFC on the television. Now, if you don't know my husband, he is a sports crazed man. I have tried to tell him, that he needs to pick only so many sports to follow, otherwise it just becomes too much for me to handle - all the sports that is. UFC is not one of my favorites. I don't understand the point of watching people beat the living daylight out of each other and then call it a sport? Well, anyway I could go off all day on why I don't like UFC. So back to my story. I came upstairs only to see our oldest daugther (2 years old) watching UFC with her dad. I began to yell at Brett while he was on the phone about how I don't agree with UFC....and then shortly after that, Aunika went up and kicked at the man on TV that was in the middle of a fight! SHE KICKED THE TV! NEED I SAY MORE! We both just stood there is shock and chuckled a little bit, before we had to try and explain to her that you can not kick the tv, and that fighting is not nice. She also has a tendency lately to push down the daycare boy (which I think she picked up from UFC)

So need I say more that it is important to start screening what your child watches at a very early age. It is also important to make sure you explain things to your kids, and help them understand God's way. How do you explain that UFC is something God would smile down on? I don't know??? Maybe that is a question for my husband Brett!
