confession

I have a confession to make on behalf of the Burgess family. We have an obsession. I'd like to say it started with our boys and I guess they did have a bit to do with it. They love guns and cars and grenades and army guys and they especially love them all rolled into one..... Daniel and I were thinking of something we could watch together as a family and considering the following factors, we came up with one logical conclusion..... The A team. 

Thus enters our confession. We love the A team. Almost every evening our boys ask if we can watch another A team. We go thru the act of pretending that that is not what we want to do, but the truth is we enjoy it almost as much as they do. For us it's a nostalgia thing. Brings back memories of our childhood when we thought BA was the biggest guy we'd ever seen and Hannibal was the best idea man we'd ever known, Murdock was the craziest and Face the most suave. Now we watch and laugh that no one ever gets hit with a bullet even though they are expert soldiers, that it wouldn't be called a proper A team episode if there weren't at least 2 car flips and that the plot is basically the same every time.... but deep down we really do enjoy that we can watch something with our boys that isn't too violent (no blood ever) or too sexually explicit.

We finish our evenings and with a sigh say "Ahhh the 80's were good for something" :o)
