My kids don’t watch what I’d consider a lot of television.  In fact, many times, I wish they would spend more time watching TV.

But this weekend, Thing 2 really wanted to watch movies.  Finally, SuburbanMommy gave him the old parenting line: If you watch too much TV, your brain will turn to mush.

He didn’t seem to grasp the concept of brains or mush, and didn’t make much of it.  Then, a few hours later, while we were eating lunch, we were talking about what Thing 1 and Thing 2 would do during “quiet time”.   That’s what we call the time on weekends after lunch when Thing 3 naps and we attempt to have some quiet.

So Thing 2 says,  We can’t watch a movie during quiet time, because it will turn the TV into a giant mushroom.
