Lex's Perspective on Cartoons

Today the boys and I went to Cracker Barrel for dinner. I wanted some home cookin' with out having to be home cookin'.

As we are waiting for our food we are looking at the decor on the walls which is all from the old days. Jonny makes me feel really old by asking me if I had T.V. when I was little. I tell him that YES! there was T.V. when I was little.

Alex asks me what I used to watch on T.V. when I was little. I tell him that I used to watch a lot of cartoons. Alex inquisitively asks me what cartoons I used to watch. I rattle of a list to him, Care Bears, Garfield, Flintstones, Yogi Bear, He-Man, etc. Finally on my list I tell him that one of the favorites that I used to watch was the Smurfs.

"What are Smurfs?" Lex asks me.

"They are little blue creatures that live in mushrooms." I tell him.

Jonny adds, "I've seen Smurfs. They have a leader Smurf that wears red pants. His name is Papa Smurf."

Lex asks, "Oh, so what is Papa Smurf's ability?"

I tell him that Smurfs don't have abilities.

Lex balks, "Then WHY in the Earth would you watch them???"

Funny!
