So my DH gets an e-mail yesterday from a man claiming to be the casting director for the TV show Wife Swap. You know, this is the one where they take a wife from one extreme to the other. Like a social debutante and a farmer’s wife.
The e-mail said they were looking for families like ours to try out for the show. You had to have children over the age of 6. He laughed and said “That’s the weirdest e-mail I ever got.”
I read it and thought, okay Daniel Markell or whatever your name is… Google! So I googled his name and guess what? It seems that this was a legitimate e-mail. :o
The kids are like “wow, cool, I get to be on TV?” Um, NO! You have got to be kidding me? While I think the ratings would probably be enormous, the images of my DH putting up with a woman the opposite of me make my eyes roll back in my head. I’m not desperate enough for fame and money to make myself into an idiot on TV. Nor subject my kids to some woman’s rules. Can you tell I’m a bit protective of them?
Anyhoo, pretty weird, eh? :-?
it might sell you a few books ;)
