Its fine to be normal

With a small baby in tow i have hardly had any time to catchup with what's happening around. 

However there was one piece of news that caught my attention recently. Two sports players being expelled out for appearing on a chat show on TV. That sounded bizarre to me. What harm could that chat show do to the men to be expelled from team.

As a doubting Thomas I went about and watched the show for that scandalous duration. What I heard made me cringe.

One gentleman sitting on the couch says that he declared that he lost his virginity to his parents and apparently they remarked in pride. He said he watches women move and he shows that to his parents.  The other gentleman next to him says the first gentleman's family is very cool and he hadnt seen such till then.  I'm sure he wouldn't have. Thankfully to barely save the grace the host called out the family weird.

I have no opinion to share about the family.  It's their freedom to express and be however they want to be. What concerned me most was what the player tried to say to indicate his family is cool.

Im all yes to sex education at home,  parents should talk about this to their children so that kids don't go to others when in doubt.  But have we become so uncouth in the name of appearing to be cool.  We forget that what we speak on national TV is watched by a wide range of audience.

Im sure the gentle man had better examples to show his family was indeed cool. What example is he setting for his young fans who watched the show.  That it's ok to watch women and imagine what you want and to top it he declares this with pride to his family and they are all proud of his feat and smartness if we can term it that.

I have seen an episode of the same show where a husband and wife shared the martial tidbits in a dignified yet witty ways. I'm not saying it's the most reverend discussion but it showed them to be as normal as all of us are and its ok to be normal.

I sincerely wish that people on national TV have some thought before uttering any gibberish and not set a bad example.
