Maybe too much Disney

It used to be just me, but that didn’t even last for two years so I’ve long since accustomed myself to being the oldest child and not the only child. Eventually, it was my brother, my sister, and me. The three of us were born within three years of one another so we grew up together. It never occurred to us that we wouldn’t be the only ones and that after ten years we would be followed by three more girls and a boy. The four have changed our lives in a lot of ways – a lot of unexpected ways.

I am not a religious follower of any particular TV show, but if there is a show that I watch more regularly than any other it’d probably be Sonny with a chance or another Disney channel show (except for Hannah Montana). Also, if there’s a Disney channel movie, I’ve seen it. We didn’t have Disney channel when I was a child – God, I sound old – so maybe I’m making up for something I missed out on… nah, my brother, sister, and I enjoyed watching Arthur, Gargoyles, and Power Rangers. Good memories. No, the reason my entire family is so familiar with Disney channel is that it’s usually safer and easier for all of us to watch their show than vice versa.

There was the brief period of time that I followed the series Bones. If my little sisters were in the room, more often than not I had to change the channel at least a couple times because it was too gory for them. And when I watch Say Yes to the Dress, I get suckered into switching to something not as ‘boring’ by my sisters’ begging. Seriously though, I don’t mind watching Sonny and Chad Dillon Cooper, they’re quite entertaining; you should try it sometime. I have made references to Disney characters and shows that I found particularly humorous or applicable to my friends. Funny thing is, they don’t usually get my very intelligent references, and it’s probably because they don’t have younger siblings at home.

Sigh…the sacrifices I make.
