The Importance of Cable

Over the weekend the Reisdorf Fam was digging out the last of our garden at my Grandparents' farm.  Early this spring/summer we were planting our goodies when the Tayter Tot noticed something white in the distance....
PAUSE
I know as parents, especially when kids are younger, you fight to not let your kid watch TV.  Well consider this an argument for the defense--you NEED to let your kids watch TV--not that SpongeBob shit....but Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, PBS, etc.
UNPAUSE
...Taytum, noticing this white mysterious object, pulls from her small undeveloped frontal lobe that it must be a baby polar bear.

"Is that a baby polar bear?"
"Where?!?!"
"In the field...what is that?"
"Garbage"
"Oh"
"Plus Polar bears don't live in Wisconsin...and it's summer..."

We gave her a hard time for a day or two anytime we saw something white laying around and then life went on--and we ordered her a national geographic subscription.

Well.....over the weekend, while we were at the farm my dad noticed a white plastic bag in the field and decided to poke a little fun at her.
Despite what you may think from my blogs--we don't point and laugh at Taytum (our arms would get too tired) --she has a great sense of humor and can take it pretty well when we laugh at her/with her.

Dad:  "Tay is that a baby polar bear out there?"
Tay:  "Where?!?!?!"
After she looked EVERYWHERE....
Me:  "Well, Taytum...do you really need to look around?  We know that Polar Bears don't live in Wisconsin right?"
Tay:  "It could have walked here! From Antarctica!"
Robin: "Well...it would have had to swim..."
Tay:  BLANK STARE
Me: "You're getting a map for Christmas"
