Picture perfect

There are some disgusting pictures out there with Hulk Hogan's hands all over his grown, adult daughter's bare butt. Umm, not necessary. I don't care if he or she thinks it's cute or funny or helpful. There are places a daughter just doesn't *go* when she comes of age, and letting ole dad play "grab-ass" is one of those places. It doesn't really matter what his intentions were, that's just not right.

The Miley Cyrus pictures don't bother me so much. I'm not offended that this "role model for young children" would do such a thing. I have been teaching my daughter from day one that pop-culture tv, books and magazines aren't *real* and not to take influence from them. I'm not the perfect parent, but I do believe that this is part of my JOB. Not to depend on pop culture for my childrens' mores and values. We should be teaching our children the difference between right and wrong, good and bad decisions, and how to *make* those good decisions. Not "shame on Billy Ray", but shame on YOU for thinking he should censor what his daughter does for YOUR sake. Not many ten year olds I know read Vanity Fair, anyway.

I'm wandering. It's hard to keep my thoughts together and stay on task today. Little G was up at three, and wanted to play. The birds weren't even chirping at three! GO TO SLEEP LITTLE PERSON!! Hopefully, there will be more sleep tonight.
