Kid TV

Okay, so I've mentioned a time or two before that I don't like to watch TV news. When I do watch it (and get to choose the channel myself), I watch Kid TV news, better known around here as Channel 2, KJRH, the NBC affiliate. I swear, half the people on that station are fifteen or younger, and they're just all so cute in their little suits and grown-up clothes.

To be fair (and to paraphrase one of them -- Glenn McEntyre), they're not as young as they look. But when you look fifteen, who cares how old you really are??

On top of that, they're pretty good reporters. Their bias is far less noticeable than the other local stations. They'll ask the hard questions while 6's and 8's older, more experienced reporters just bob their heads in acceptance of some of the most asinine statements ever made.

I do have one complaint, though. There's one little sweetie -- I won't name names, though, frankly, like the kiddo's friends, I get them confused -- who's done a bunch of stories on the endless wildfires that have swept across the state this winter, and in more than a couple of them, she's commented that no homes were destroyed by that particular fire, but several outhouses were.

Now, I spent the first 22 years of my life in Oklahoma, and have been back for 11 years. I knew people who had outhouses in my toddler years, but I haven't laid eyes on one -- particularly one still in use -- in eons.

The word you're looking for is "outbuildings," honey. Try to remember it. Rachel8:41 AM
