I know good television. I've chosen to entertain myself with the best shows ever: Breaking Bad, Battlestar Galactica, The Wire, The Tudors, The Walking Dead, Longmire, and Shipping Wars.
What? Don't know Shipping Wars?!?! Well...it isn't super popular....yet. It is just simply entertaining. The premise behind the show is that these independent truckers travel the nation shipping ridiculous stuff on the back of their trailers in all kinds of weather, all kinds of traffic situations, and deal with irate buyers and sellers. It is awesome! Well...at least I think so.
My daughter decided to let me know that this show was 'Silly'. Again and again and again one evening.
She leaned over my shoulder while I was sitting on the couch watching the show on my phone (I should have been cleaning up after dinner instead but I'm kinda addicted). With a confused look upon her face she asked, "WHAT IS THAT?!"
I was watching the episode where these professional shippers were transporting a bright yellow nuclear fallout shelter across the country to an 'end-of-the-world' buyer. Bel looked at this contraption on top of the trailer and kept commenting on it, incessantly. "Daddy! (laughing at the top of her lungs) That is SOOOO silly! Why are you WATCHING THAT?" She kept on laughing and commenting on this for at least three minutes. Enough so that the laughing and giggling became contagious. I began to laugh, crack up, and eventually began crying from so much laughter. My wife joined the conversation halfway through and looked at us like we were two crazy children of hers. "Two peas in a pod", she called us. She wasn't quite sure about the entire idea behind the event, but started to laugh just the same.
Something from that show triggered the intense response from Bel. I don't know if it was the yellow fall-out shelter or the fact that her Dad was spending anytime watching the transport of this nuclear blast-resistant home. Whatever caused my daughter to burst into extreme laughter, it was well worth it. I've rarely ever seen her laugh SO intensely about anything. Especially an adult oriented show about shipping. http://www.aetv.com/shipping-wars
She then kindly asked for me to watch something else less silly.
-Bel: "Dad? Can we watch Busy Town with Huckle instead?"
-Me: "Sure, honey. That's not silly at all."
