George

I got to watch some of the Gray's Anatomy finale last night. Well, Tyler happened to be in the room (he's never far from me) when George revealed himself to Meredith after being in horrible auto accident. His face was so mutilated and broken that he couldn't speak and no one recognized him. So as he traced the numbers 007 on Meredith's hand, I gasped, and with my hand over my mouth, I whispered to myself "it's George... ." Seeing my dramatic reaction, Tyler began to pay attention to the TV and saw George and his face that's just been run over by a bus and says..."oooh....it's George....scare me!"

I quickly explained that George was hurt; he was not scary; he was sad and hurt; and the doctors were going to help him. Well, Tyler went on for the next 30 minutes about George. He'd put his hands over his mouth and say very quietly, "it's George....scare me." I think after a while it was just a show for us, but I prayed that my Gray's Anatomy addiction didn't just scar my kid and create another image for him to be afraid of at night.

Of course Mark took this opportunity to scorn me (jokingly) for subjecting Tyler to such filth. He only did this because I have a fit when he plays his violent, first-person-shooter video games in front of Tyler. Oh well. Hopefully after a good night's sleep, Tyler has forgotten about George. Sweet boy.
