Treehouse

Reese Witherspoon pulled the “don’t you know you I am?!?” card to police after she and her husband were pulled over on Friday and arrested! GASP!

Witherspoon and her husband, Jim Toth, were arrested and briefly jailed after he was pulled over under suspicion of driving while intoxicated in Atlanta.

The police report stated,

“Mrs. Witherspoon asked, ‘Do you know my name?’ I answered, ‘No, I don’t need to know your name.’ I then added, ‘right now.’ Mrs. Witherspoon stated, ‘You’re about to find out who I am.’ ”

Whoa! Talk about using your celebrity and it backfiring!

Toth, 42, faces a DUI charge after driving in the wrong lane while the super clean-cut Witherspoon, 37, was arrested for disorderly conduct. She was handcuffed after disobeying instruction from the arresting officer to stay inside the vehicle.

Oh Reese! Why didn’t you just be a normal person and keep your mouth shut?

Through her rep, Witherspoon released this statement:

Out of respect for the ongoing legal situation, I cannot comment on everything that is being reported right now. But I do want to say, I clearly had one drink too many and I am deeply embarrassed about the things I said. It was definitely a scary situation and I was frightened for my husband, but that is no excuse. I was disrespectful to the officer who was just doing his job. The words I used that night definitely do not reflect who I am. I have nothing but respect for the police and I’m very sorry for my behavior.

Oops! Despite how many drinks she had, do you think anyone should pull the celebrity card? Do you think this behaviour will tarnish Witherspoon’s reputation?

I mentioned in my last post about my 5 year old being “tech savvy”.

Well now I’m faced with another change that I’m not sure I’m quite ready for.

Just the other day, I suddenly find Teletoon blaring on the television.

Let’s not get started on how much television children should watch, ok? I know it’s not meant to be a babysitter but when your kid is sick and won’t leave the couch, there is nothing like cartoons to keep them entertained.

As I was sayin’, Teletoon. I stop dead in my tracks. Wait a second… what happened to Treehouse? (For those of you who live in the U.S., Treehouse is the Canadian equivalent to Nick Jr.

No no no! Don’t tell me… the Boss has graduated from Treehouse already? I knew the day would come and I should probably be thankful that it lasted this long. The Boss has officially outgrown preschool shows and onto the big boy stuff.

Shows with funky people that carry swords and have evil voices. Distorted faces that I myself could have nightmares about. Characters that spew words that forces me to do a double-take. Young dudes with spikey hair and coloured tips.

Now he would prefer to watch Bugs Bunny and Tweety, which is fine and dandy. But Pokemon and Bakugans? I’m scared.

I’m not ready for this! I want to go back to the days when In the Night Garden lulled them to sleep or when Little Bear charmed their pants off. I haven’t had enough of Pablo and Uniqua breaking out in song and dance in the middle of the desert. Or DJ Lance Rock bopping to techo tunes. Heck, I’ll even take Dora’s screeching annoying voice any day.

Now it’s onto Pokemon and Bakugans. Johnny Test and the World of Quest.

Whoa, this is all happening too fast! I’m not ready. This is just the beginning of yet another new phase of parenthood. How will I explain to a five-year-old about aliens and superpowers? Which shows are appropriate? Which shows are forbidden for this age? I’m not prepared to answer some of these questions… I’m not even sure if I will know all the answers.

I guess I will have to immerse myself in a crash course of Ben 10: Alien Force and Transformers for the next few days. I’m computer savvy but a little behind on the latest technology so I think I’ll also need a tutorial on parental controls… and fast.
