Freaked Out
I got the unique pleasure of my heart jumping into my throat last night, and then swallowing it so that it quickly plummeted into my asshole.
The TV stand that was mounted on my daughters wall decided to commit suicide last night. IN the few seconds it took me to get from the laundry room to her doorway, horrible scenes flashed through my mind of the carnage and bloody, broken, body of my daughter I would find. The screaming echoing down the hallway only fueled my panic... One would have thought a banshee had invaded my house.
The TV and DVD player laid in a heap on the floor- and the wires pulled taught had almost brought her bookshelves down on her.
Yes, she was fine... other than being quite convinced that her daddy was going to be mad and "Hate her." It took me an hour to calm her down and convince her that he would just be glad she wasn't hurt. Brenden even got into the act of comforting her... She was pretty badly shaken.
Today Rachel is bummed the fuck out- as she has no TV. It tragically lost it's life in the fall, may it rest in peace. Her disappointment is bleeding into my sanity, as now she feels she has some claim to the big TV to watch Toon Disney. I think I hate Danny Phantom... No, I am sure I do....
Monday I will be trekking down to the store to find her another relatively cheap TV... the bastards don't show looney toons or Tom and Jerry anymore (I could get down with some classic toonage)- so I must away with these shitty modern day abominations of animation. Now I know how my mom felt about Voltron and the Thundercats.

I once dragged my mom to a Carebears movie. And then got mad at her when she fell asleep. :D

That is scary! I just heard about a little kid getting killed by a large TV that was on a tv stand, he tried to reach his little cartoon DVD or something that was on top of it and it tipped over and killed him! Then the article said that hundreds of kids a year are killed or injured by falling TV's, I had no idea.
Maybe you can just set it on the floor.

Psst....Cartoon Network's sister channel, boomerang, shows all the good stuff still.
