24

My youngest daughter approached me while I was watching TV.

"How long is that show?", she asked.

"Around an hour, I think. ", I answered.

"I don't think so. That show is very very long! Since yesterday!", she said with conviction.

"Ummm... no. Yesterday, it was a different show." I said.

"But.. but.. it's the same show and it never changes!"

"Gabbi", I said as I looked at her, "This is a twenty four hour news channel. Anytime of the day, it's always the news".

"Who would want to watch news all day?" She asked me.

"Me". I answered.

Gabbi looked at me really concerned and said, "Papa, you should go out of the room more often".

I think the proper response that's running around her head was "Get a life".

This morning as I was watching The Soccer Channel. Gabbi looked at me and said, "Oh no! Football? Again?!"
