Happy Farm? Sounds like something out of the Cultural Revolution.
Eggplants and tomatos? At Least, Ma and Pa aren't blowing away zombie dorks right and left.
Cutting the cable? I don't know what 'household voltage' is in China, and I'm afraid to find out.
Addiction? Help! I think I'm getting addicted to Newsvine!

You too? LOL
Well... They say when life gives you lemons... Wait. I think she just said f*** the lemons and traded them in for some yummy strawberries and chocolate using some good ole fashioned force. Kiddos get attention one way or another. I can't say I blame her too much though. I have had similar thoughts of hiding video games when my husband gets a new one. Maybe that's why I check newsvine everyday. Hmmmm... I might ought to think on that one.
