When Grace and I were kids, we were not immune to waking up bright and early on weekends. My parents were and would lock their bedroom door so as to steal another hour of sleep. Grace and I were left alone to fend for ourselves so naturally we turned to our babysitter, the TV.
The only kid show on that early in the morning (this was before cable TV that showcased hundreds of channels) was "The Little Rascals." And we loved their crazy antics! At the time we didn't value them as much as we did the Superfriends or G.I. Joe, but now it's those black-and-white clips that still hold a special place in my heart.
For this morning's breakfast, we feasted on bacon and toast and
chose "The Little Rascals." It was a laugh a minute and I wonder now why more kids do not watch these shows. Why don't parents show it to their kids. Am I just a reincarnated Flapper?
I almost called this post "A Perfect Saturday Morning" because, as I type, the kids are playing Crossy Roads, a game that resembles the 80s hit Frogger. As soon as I finish this post, we're having a round of practice games among the three of us and then onward to a video game tournament!
When people talk about enjoying your moments with your kids, I will look back at this morning and think, "Yeah ... I'm glad I had my own little rascals."
