What Does This Mean? Probably Nothing but it sure is Weird
My 8 year-old nephew was over this weekend. Everytime they come, it’s a battle to get him away from the computer. He wants to play his internet computer games and hogs comp time from his 5 year-old brother and my son. Usually he wants to get on D.isney or C.artoon Ne.twork.
Well he was having a fit to get on the computer. When his turn came, he was very focused on his task. After a while, I noticed I didn’t hear the usual computer game noise (grunts, theme music, etc) that usually gives me a headache. When I walked to the computer, I saw he was on UP.N’s website.
Now even though we no longer have a t.v., it hasn’t been that long to know that they don’t cater to 8 year-olds. When my sister (his mom) and I asked what he was doing, he said…very non-chalantly…
“oh, I’m just voting on America’s N.ext Top Mo.del of the week”
Did I mention he’s 8??
MY 7 year old son watches it with me!!!!! i thought it was just us! he asked me yesterday who i thought was gonna get kicked off. i said prolly the tall white chick. he was like who Sara? i was like dang i didn’t even know her name!!!

My son watches it with me too. He makes comments on the girls and who he wants to win too. I dont think he should have been doing it un-supervisded but hey everyone has their own rules.
