Cartoons...


This morning my husband got up and made breakfast for us. While we were at the breakfast table, my son was asking my husband why he brought the movie “Robots” for him to watch. “That’s a baby movie”, my son says. My husband responded, “When I see you watching TV, you are always watching cartoons and I thought you might like this one.” My son proceeded to name the cartoons he watches (“Jimmy Neutron”; “The Simpson’s”; “Invader Zim”, “Kids Next Door” and others) which he believes “aren’t for babies”, half of them I’ve never even heard of or recognize. So I say, “When I was kid, I used to watch cartoons like “Tom & Jerry” and “Popeye”. We asked him if he knew who Popeye was and his response was, “Oh, yeah, it’s the pirate guy who eats his spinach right?” My husband and I started to laugh. Goes to show you the difference between our generations… God I feel old! And no, he’s not a pirate; he’s Popeye the Sailor Man! Toot toot!
