I’m somewhat glad my kids are well in their teens now (could do with less back-talk, but you can read about this issue on my blog www.mamarazziknowbest.com), and that we survived the turbulent downward spiral of television programming for families.

We can now cautiously sit together through a few shows and commercials, and seldom have to cringe or change the channel due to inappropriate content during prime family TV time.

Oh, no she didn’t!

I tuned in to my regular radio talk show where the discussion was the recent

abdication of the director’s throne over at the Miss California pageant offices.

I was sure I had missed hearing Reese Witherspoon’s name instead of Shanna Moakler’s in the part of the good-bye speech mentioning a role model.

But my ears had not betrayed me.
