Alright, I admit it. I watched again. I couldn't help it. The promo reeled me in.
Two things about this episode.
First, at the end with the dad getting all emotional....holy shit, I must have replayed that scene ten times. I could not stop laughing. Overall, this was a pretty soaked episode in terms of useless crying. But that end. Wooo. Wish I could find a clip of it. Nothing says entertainment like a grown man getting himself into that high pitched squeak sob.
Second- One of the families were the "hands off" type (i.e., kids? what kids?). Thus, they didn't seem to mind who their daughters were hanging out with. Enter the "hands on" mom into this environment. She asks the 15-year-old daughter's friend how old he is. He was 21. Veintiuno. My mouth just dropped. There's so many things wrong with this. Aside from the creepy and the obvious perv factor, there's a definite loser factor. What 21 year old has nothing better to do with his time than hang out with 15 year olds? Shouldn't he be at work or college? You know, with other young adults? Hell, I would have found that creepy even as a 15 yr old. (On a side note, when I used to do theatre in high school, we had some guys who were college students who became somewhat regulars in the musicals/plays. Sure, they were nice guys, but I couldn't help but wondering what the fuck they were doing trying out for high school plays. Did they not have anything else to do? It was just weird. And sad.)
I gotta say, if someone significantly older (who is not a blood relative) even thinks about hanging out with my kids when they're that young...well...first I will kick them in the shins for being a loser. Then I think I would have to kick them harder, perhaps in the nuts/twat.
Yeah. Wife Swap, getting all the issues in the air. *sob*
In other news, the Charlie Brown Christmas Special is airing tomorrow. HELL YEAHS!
