What Daddy Watches When Mommy's Not Around

Gilberto stayed home from work sick for the second day in a row.

My mom just called to say hi, and to tell me that Gabi had decided to hang with her dad instead of going to Sea World with her as planned.

Mom: So they're in the living room together watching TV. Oh. Hmmm. I don't know if he should be letting her watch the guy channel.

Me: Fly channel?

Mom: GUY channel.

Me: Why? What are they watching?

Mom: Well, there are polar bears with male appendages.

Me: Oh!

Gabi, in the background: I have polar bears in my room!

Me: Yeah, but not like THOSE bears.

My mom laughs.

Mom: Oh, it's MTV.

And in my head I'm thinking, oh, that's okay. Because MTV's version of polar bears with male appendages is probably much better than SPIKE's.
