We watch a lot of reality TV, My Beloved and I. Rocker Moms, 'Till Debt do us Part, Rich Bride Poor Bride, My Super Sweet 16, Wedding S.O.S, Nanny 911 - whatever happens to tickle our fancy, amuse us and/or make us feel a little less pathetic (there's nothing like watching people humiliate themselves on TV to make you feel better about your own particular lot in life).
Last night during during a commercial break we had the following conversation:
HIM (with a mischievous twinkle in his eye): They should do a show called "Sob Story".
ME: Sob Story?
HIM: Yeah, you go on and tell your sob story - like a Baby Story or Wedding Story but different - not so happy. And we could go on it.
ME: Ooooh yeah, and at the end of the show they turn your story into a happy one by giving you whatever it was that you lost. THAT'S how we could get a baby!
Oh the wacky, morbid humor of the childless and bereaved...

I watched alot of Super Sweet Sixteen after losing Joseph. Not sure why it made me feel better...but it did. Sometimes humor is the thing that keeps me going.

How about a return of "Queen for a Day" in which two women competed to have the worst tale of woe...
That's such a brilliant idea that I'm almost speechless. People just luuuv hearing about or seeing others' misery (which, I think, in large part explains the popularity of the shows where one contestant is eliminated each time). Pitch it to someone in the business before someone else steals the idea.
I'd watch it.
I'm finally de-lurking to say thank you so much for your honesty.
And, you are, you know. Cool Enough to Blog.
