Full House

This week the episode of Full House that I managed to catch was about Jesse trying to make Alex and Nicky look smarter so that they can get into an advanced Kindergarten. He thinks that the only way that the twins will be successful in life is by getting them into the Kindergarten. He lies on the application saying that they are bilingual and that they can read novels. He also says that he is a Doctor to make him look smarter to show that the boys have to be smart. When the twins go to their interview with the head of the school, they just want to play and have no chance of proving what Jesse said was true. The school is confused at first, but then they think that the boys are so smart that they are quiet and don’t like showing their intelligence. When they get home, Rebecca explains to Jesse that lying about the boy’s intelligence level will eventually be revealed and that he should be setting a better example for them other than lying. Jesse agrees that he is wrong and should not force the boys to try harder to be smart. When they get the letter from the school in response to the interview, everyone thought that it would be a denial, but the boys did get into the school. Jesse decides that he would rather have his children go to a regular school instead of forcing them to go to a more advanced school. He learned that you can’t make children smarter by forcing them to learn, all children learn at their own rate; if they are not ready to know something they won’t understand. But when they are ready they will understand, that doesn’t make them any less intelligent.

This weeks readings

The Holy Homosexuality Batman article that we read this week and the class discussion that we had made me laugh. I have never seen any of the Batman movies before but I would have assumed that Batman was a manly hero, not a homosexual. I guess that some of the things Batman and Robin do could possibly put them under suspicion for homosexuality. I don’t honestly think that the writer of Batman would have wanted people to think that Batman was homosexual. I think that a man sitting in another man’s bed rubbing his shoulders is quite abnormal behavior for normal male friends, even brothers don’t normally act as affectionate towards each other as that. I think that walking out of the shower with a towel on is not really abnormal for guys. I would not suspect a man as homosexual if they were getting out of the shower covered by a towel while other men were around. Maybe if he got out of the shower without the towel and Robin was watching very closely, that would be a little suspicious. Although superheroes do wear some super tight clothing that accentuates every single part of them, I don’t think that it is meant to appeal to other men. Tight clothing showing off their muscles just proves how much more powerful and heroic they are than other men. The idea that they didn’t show any part of the woman’s body as oppose to how much of the male body is displayed is kind of confusing other than the point that the superhero is the star and should be getting all the attention, not the human woman.

My Weekend

This weekend was very busy for me. I usually work through the weekend, but I quit one of my jobs to have more time for studying. Working seven days a week and being a full time student just wasn’t for me. On Friday I was enthused about having a day off, but it didn’t really work that way. My grandma moved in with my family, so I had to help pack and move all of her things. After that, my boss needed me to watch his kids for him while he went out and partied on his Friday night, something I haven’t experienced in quite awhile. Babysitting for my boss isn’t too bad because I’m with the kids so much I’m like a big sister to them and he pays well. Although the kids did go to sleep easily for me, which is fairly unusual, the 10 month old kept waking up. His crying would wake up the two year old who then would start crying. When I got the two year old to go back to sleep, I picked up the baby and he puked all over me. I had puke in my hair, all down my shirt, on face, and all over my pants, but don’t worry, none of it got on the baby. This extra money definitely helps to pay the bills. On Saturday, I helped my grandma unpack some of her things and get herself organized. After that I went to the movies and seen The Lookout, which was a pretty good movie. On Sunday, I helped prepare dinner and then ate with the family. After dinner I caught up on all the studying that I didn’t do during the week.

Full House

This week’s episode of Full House was about the girls taking their Father and their Uncles for granted. In the beginning of the show, the girls were going to a theme park and all they say is things like wash my clothes, get the camera, buy us snacks, and pack our things. Then when they are leaving, Danny asks if they were forgetting something and they said, “oh yeah, Money!” They didn’t even say thank you. When they came back the girls told Danny to take them ice skating, Jesse to make them lunch, and Joey to play hide and seek with them.

The guys were realizing that they do everything that the girls tell them to, and they are supposed to be the adults. They decided to switch the roles and have the girls be the parents and the guys are the kids. DJ had to make the lunches and Stephanie had to get their drinks. Joey, Danny, and Jesse continuously changed their minds and complained about everything just as the girls had done to them.

Once the girls realized that the game they were playing was to teach them a lesson, they felt really bad. They learned that their family is not there to serve them; they are there to help them. A family’s life is not meant to revolve around the children’s wishes and commands. Adults should help their children whenever possible, but they should not be expected to drop everything just to do exactly what the kids want. The kids should especially know that they should be appreciative for everything that their parents do for them and show their appreciation by saying thank you.
