Why there will be no snakes and Xbox

I am not fond of setting rules but i will have to once i become a mother. Tough love is better than no love.

Rule #1. No pet snakes (or any other scaly amphibians for that matter).

A burmese python escaped from her cage and strangled a 2 yr old in her sleep. Read news here. I mean COME ON. A snake and a baby don't go together and there are no exceptions.

Rule #2. No xbox, or rather no violent xbox games when the baby is awake and roaming the house. I don't want the baby to sleep with gunshots in the background. No bloody stabbing scenes, running over screaming pedestrians, vulgarities and dismembering of things (even if they are zombies). I watched an episode of Desparate Housewives Season 5 yesterday. Susan became an art teacher and she told her students to draw things that make them happy. One of the boy's drew himself stabbing his mother. How is that acceptable!!!

It's simple. Kids want to become what they watch. They are like sponges. Otherwise why would mountain man spend hours pretending he was Superman. And why did i want to become xiaolongnu? So what is to stop T from wanting to become the Godfather? I don't think i need to justify further why there can be no violent xbox games anymore.

Note to mountain man: if the xbox goes flying out of our 21st story home one day. Don't say i didn't warn you. heh.
