Day 2 of No TV

This is how it went down last night -- day two of our no TV project (proving to be more challenging than we thought.)

W: "So what Netflix movie came?"
Me: "Last of the Mohicans."
W:  "We can watch that!  It's historical!"
Me:  "I was thinking the same thing, but we're staying strong!"

Thirty minutes later I was blogging and he was watching a snowboard video on his computer.

Me:  "Okay, this is defeating the whole point."
W:  "So we might as well just watch Last of the Mohicans."
Me:  "Ah, but we're doing so good!  And besides, it's already 8:30.  I'm going to start getting ready for bed in half an hour."
W:  "But it's not TV -- it's a historical movie.  It has the British. It has Pilgrims.  It has Indians... and it has the British."
Me:  "Oh I don't know... and you said British twice."
W:  "What if we just watch thirty minutes of it?  We'll make it a three-part series."
Me:  "Okay.  Yes.  Put it on."

Exactly thirty minutes later at 9:15 we turned it off and started getting ready for bed. W jumped into bed first and said:

W:  "Look, it's your dream come true."

He was propped up on a his pillows reading a book.

Me:  "I know, I literally can not even believe what I'm seeing right now."
Me:  "You know, I stole that book from your childhood bedroom at your parents house."
W:  "Yes, my high school's initials are stamped all over it."

I blissfully crawled into bed with my own book.  Day two -- a success!
