Kids Aren't So Dumb After All
From a new survey by GE/Future Foundation:Owning satellite TV was found to be 50 per cent more important than starting a family.Kids care about TV? Who would have thought. Mind you, they merely care about TVs more than they care about families, which is isn't saying much, relatively speaking.

Also they do not know that satellite TV becames a road to eternal expenses (big TV monitor, flat LCD TV, audio/video electronics, etc) and they can only use it in the actual TV room... sex is ubiquituos.
However, if you start with the sat TV and then continue with the family, you will loose the remote control to other beings.
Maybe this should be a feature of the future iPod/iPhone (or a new gadget from somebody else): ubiquity for your sat TV in harmony with starting a famliy.
A family is much more expensive than satellite TV. That's not just tongue-in-cheek. I'm still astonished how much our expenses went up with the birth of our first child. I'm also surprised how much they went down when we officially gave her the boot after she finished beauty school last fall. (Mind you, we have three kids left, but our oldest girl used a disproportionate amount of money.)
Bah. I wouldn't worry about it. As soon as they find out that you use sex to start a family, they'll view that goal as much more desirable.
