Not a dry eye in the house


Word to the wise.. When you have a self admitted “sensitive” 5 year old girl in the house, DO NOT WATCH SAPPY REALITY SHOWS! There will be tears.

 

The Biggest Loser is just one of those shows that we always seem to get sucked into. Season after season, it’s the same thing. “I don’t like the contestants this time.” “Jillian bugs me!” “Why does everyone have some sob story?” After all is said and done, none of that matters. We still end up watching, and getting involved throughout the whole season.

 

Maybe I have just watched it enough that I am jaded, and am never really affected when it comes time for someone to get the boot, and go home. This was clearly a new experience for Brooklyn. As we were watching Joe Shmo promise that he will be 100 lbs lighter the next time we see him, I hear whimpering, and a small voice says “I’m so sad”. As I look down ad Brooklyn, I was met with red, tear filled eyes. This where I am a horrible parent, and immediately start to laugh.  I have the hardest time keeping a straight face in situations such as this one.  Jessica is always much stronger than I am. She can always keep calm and comfort the kids, even if something as goofy as the biggest loser is making them cry. When I looked over at Jessica to see how she would react, she had already covered her head with a blanket and was shaking from laughter. I’M DOOMED! How am I supposed to be serious with this going on?

 

Brooklyn was pretty quick to get over the elimination from the white team, but it’s safe to say that that we all shed some tears that night.
