The You Tube Account

Danny told us that he wanted a You Tube account so that he could follow the videos that he liked.  Tom and I, being extremely wary when it comes to our kids using the internet, told him that he could create an account but we had to approve of what was being viewed, and he wasn't allowed to upload anything.  Over dinner, he was telling us that he set up the account and asked us to look at it when we were ready.  He then added, "I picked the coolest name for my account."  I said, "Oh? What is the name?"  He replied, "Epic X Videos".  Nearly choking on our food, Tom and I both said simultaneously, "That is not an appropriate name for your account!" and told him that he had to change the name immediately.  Without giving too much information, we explained to him that the words "X videos" referred to videos that were only for adults to see and the name he picked implied adult content.  He said, "Oh! I didn't know that! Sorry. "  Tom said, "I know you didn't know.  Just be sure to change the account name right away". He went to the computer and shouted, " Dad!  I changed the name!  I changed it to 'Epic X Movies!' "  (3/17/12)

    That's GREAT! I enjoyed reading your posts. You and I have similar blogs, except I'm over at Wordpress. I'm not too sure how I found you. Anyway, I have three nephews that keep me laughing all the time, so I started a blog in their honor called, My Nephews Crack Me Up. Take a look if you ever get the chance http://mynephews.wordpress.com. Just think if your three boys and my three nephews ever got together .. . whew! :-) -- FavoriteAuntie
