Parenting Fail, Again.

There is a show here in the UK called "Four Weddings". The premise of the show is that there are four brides that attend each other's weddings and score them. The one with the highest score wins a fantasy honeymoon (usually to Jamaica or somewhere else tropical). Apparently, I have not been paying close enough attention to the commercials.

Me and KiKi were sitting on the couch at 9pm (past the watershed for profanity and nudity) watching this show. Well, we were sort of watching TV. I was really half paying attention talking on twitter and she was half trying to go to sleep cause she had a late nap and was still pretty much wide awake. The first two weddings took place, insert snippy comments from the attending brides, low scores, blah blah blah, onto the next wedding. The third wedding, THAT got my attention. A naturist wedding. In other words, completely nude. I noticed this as I saw an overweight man coming walking on screen with his willy flopping about on my TV screen. Shock. Gasp.

Me- Oh My.
KiKi- They're naked.
Me- Yep. They are. *pretends it is no big deal* *in head OMG OMG OMG she just saw some guys PENIS!!!!*

Now, you know if I turn the channel she is going to know something is "wrong". So I did what any parent not trying to call attention to the situation would do. I ignored it and pretended that everyone walks down the aisle naked. Yep, parenting fail.

This made me laught, but at your hang ups really. At that age they dont notice nudity or associate ut with sexuality. My two would rather be nude than wear clothes and as for some old todders penis, we there isnt much scarier!

That would be my prudish American sensibilities rearing their head.
Lol - I would have been exactly the same.

My little girl is seven so she would have been all giggly andsaying something like 'oooh theres a willy on tele mammy'
LOL, that isn't a fail.

You got it right.

Something unexpected turned up (or flopped around) and you played it down rather than up.

I learned to say no to TV late at night in sheer "not hurling self at TV in utter panic" defense cos they sometimes do porn promos. Once with an Alsatian.

But you "handled" the flaccid "our lifestyle" penis very well in a great low key manner.
You did well and so did she. TV....ya got to love it!!

Keep them away from Embarrassing Bodies too, although that one is pretty obvious. I had it flipped the channel while I was eating and met face to face with a fat penis.
We have that show stateside now as well... Endemol has sold it's soul to the US networks :-/ but girl, you KNOW there's no willies on American tee-vee. Just lowered standards, backstabbing bitchiness and rampant consumerism.
And dying laughing over here. DYING LAUGHING! Poor thing...oh well, if she wasn't traumatized by that penis, then no penis will, so that is the bright side!
Luckily, nothing that hairy (hehehehe) happens here in the US of A!
OMG, that is hilarious! I think you handled it quite well. I probably would have done the same. I really want to watch that show now. I LOVE weird British reality shows. A while back they had one called "There's something about Mary" that was addictive. And horrible. "Mary" was a man, who had breasts and was the prettiest woman I've ever seen, but still had his downstairs parts. The men vying for 10K pounds and week long cruise with Mary didn't know any of this. OMG! Train. Wreck. Awesome.
I can't see the video... some silly thing about copywrite stuff
We Brits are responsible for a lot of smut TV; we didn't invent Big Brother but we helped it take off. But at least it's more interesting over there. It's so sanitized over here.
Hilarious!
you don't want to watch embarrassing bodies with her... just sayin'
