I firmly believe parents should be aware of what their children are doing, who they hang out with, and what sites they visit on the internet. Chill agrees. That's why we keep pretty good tabs on Oyster's internet use. She was banned from a program that really wasn't a bad web site once because she had signed up without permission. Oops.
But tonight I had a twinge of regret for my vigilance. She was on the Girls Go Games web site where there are lots of inane games and the occasional marginally educational game, but nothing so far that is inappropriate for her age. I walked into the laundry room as she was exclaiming in pleasure that the Christmas games had arrived.
I returned just in time to hear, "Oh good. Santa Farty Pants is here." You wouldn't believe the joy and wonder in her voice. I really tried not to believe it. I thought the kids were supposed to actually reach the age appropriate for 5th grade humor before 5th grade humor reared its ugly head. Guess she really is advanced for her age.
And she didn't even eat any of the beans.

I almost commented on your previous post that you had come up with a menu for Christmas dinner. However, after reading this post I think not.
I don't want to live with the endless pouting if we don't feed that child the promised mudbugs. I am certain I have eaten more steaks in the past year than in the previous ten. Mudbug consumption is up a little, too.
Jaz, ... endless pooting?
She doesn't need beans for that. The child finds pooting to be a very enjoyable activity, whether involved in the game or just being a spectator. Fifth grade humor has definitely reared its ugly head early in her life.
