    But ...

    When you first heard the story about the "balloon boy" last week. Did the thought go through your mind

    "I bet they are a homeschool family" :angel:

    Of course now that we know it is a hoax, I am very glad they aren't, but still....

    Nope! The only thing that I thought was the story seemed too far fetched to be true!

    the more I heard about the dad and how he's done crazy stuff on you Tube and even went as far as having a "theme song" done for the science show he wanted I just thought how the kids were kind of in danger (did you see the one where they chased a tornado)

    My son and I had just watched the episode they were on a few weeks ago....I know a few years ago Wife Swap was a controversial show among Christians, but we find it fascinating in our house and often use it to spark discussion about beliefs and practices. Anyway, we didn't watch the recent news footage on this, but when my SIL told us that the family had been on Wife Swap, I actually guessed which family it was!!! If you watch the episode, you will totally see how this guy thinks. He is absolutely out for attention and fame and his world, and his family's world, revolves around him.

    I thought the guy was really dramatic and yearning for attention on Wife Swap also. I too knew which family it was before anyone told me.

    When I was watching the show I actually got embarrassed for the guy because of his childish and in your face attitude. Could you imagine acting like that for millions to see you be a jerk?
