Last night, after enjoying a game of Outfoxed (not to boast, but we triumphed over the fox thrice), 12-year-old Anton and I opted to watch a show…
We settled on America’s Got Talent, which has just wrapped up its 20th season. Have you seen it? They have mastered the emotional rollercoaster — for instance, Simon paused the 12-year-old performer, as shown above, on two occasions, expressing his dislike for her song selections. She anxiously retreated backstage, experimented with a few new options, and came back to perform an original song dedicated to her father. Tears were streaming down my face!
When these four older gentlemen from Detroit introduced themselves, we assumed they were singers, so our mouths dropped when their performance started! Would you not adore witnessing them live?
And this adorable Benjamin Hightower delivered his rendition of Chappell Roan’s Pink Pony Club. During the line, “Won’t make my mama proud, it’s gonna cause a scene; She sees her baby girl, I know she’s gonna scream,” he gazed directly at his mother in the crowd. Gahhh, this show truly knows how to tug at your heartstrings.
What other programs are you currently following — for children or adults? Freddie recently enjoyed Task, but I found it sounded too frightening!
P.S. Freddie and I have developed a strategy for watching movies, and do you think TV occupations seem realistic? We consulted a doctor, a chef, a priest, and a therapist.

With nothing to risk, we decided to engage with it.

Every episode served as a tribute to the resilience of the human spirit, illustrating how individuals can triumph over hardship and find joy in the most improbable settings.

Watching the series became a weekly tradition for Anton and me. It ignited numerous discussions about our own lives, prompting us to ponder our individual challenges and victories. The characters’ experiences motivated us to face our own difficulties with a fresh spirit of hope and resolve.
Anton, who had been mulling over a career shift, gained the encouragement to chase his writing passion, while I was inspired to reconnect with long-lost friends and heal broken relationships. The show reminded us that it’s never too late to initiate positive transformations and that each day presents an opportunity for growth and renewal.
