the TV song

I just recently came across this little song in one of the children's piano books.
After reading it I was like, "really!? Is this what it's like in some homes?"
Here is the song.

TV
Every night I watch TV till time to go to bed.
Every night I watch TV till I'm a sleepy head.
Mother turns out every light, Then we watch TV.
Pictures, stories, every night for our family.
Every night I watch TV till time to go to bed.
Every night I watch TV till I'm a sleepy head.

That sounds so very sad to me, if that is really true in some homes.
I am thinking what about...
~ reading good books
~ playing family games
~ family devotions
~ writing letters
~ sewing, knitting, or crocheting
~ doing crafts or coloring or puzzles
~ talking with each other about the day
~ or just time to think, and going to bed at decent hour?

I am thinking there is much more exciting things to life than watching TV every night.

So glad that song isn't true for our home.
In my opinion life is far too short to spend it that way, I have way to many great things to accomplish and do in life!!
I would love to hear your thoughts on this. Just leave me a comment.

In Him,
Mae
