Latchkey Kids Unite!

I met a fantastic man this weekend at Market Days and his name is Joe. I think Joe is one of the few people who has seen just about as much television as I have. I was making very obscure references to television shows and movies and Joe was able to identify all of them... from Heathers to The Brady Bunch. We'll have to keep an eye on Joe. Someone as charming and pop-cultured as him is sure to be the harbinger of many sexy adventures!

Discussing all of those rare television moments made me remember my days as a latchkey kid. My mother worked to support five children, so we were pretty much on our own when we came home from school. My sisters went out with their friends and I turned on the television. I learned many important life lessons through situations that appeared on television. The Days of Our Lives taught me how to react when I get kidnapped and thrown in a golden cage under the streets of Paris by a man who faked his death several times, only to return because he has fallen in love with me as a result of a botched surgical procedure involving three prisms that operated a laser aimed at his brain.
