I decided to go online to take a break from checking my mountain of school papers (It's CDO's Fiesta. Holiday? What holiday?) and I came upon the beautiful, much needed dad take on the Miley Cyrus VMA performance debacle.
You must be living under a cave if you haven't heard of the Miley Cyrus' twerkfest by now. I haven't seen it, but I've seen the reactions from friends and the gazillions of FB memes on the subject (man, do those guys work fast). The common denominator for all of these was shock, outrage, and disgust (well, frankly, it was relief for me because I was beginning to worry that nothing shocks this generation anymore).
Then, in the middle of all the venom-spewing (and I was tempted to join the bandwagon) I came upon this article, from the Dad Matters blog of Focus on the Family (fantastic dad blog, by the way) with this as the main point: Miley Cyrus is someone's daughter. What if she were mine?
Here's the link to the article.
