What Ashton Learned When He was Just Chris

We didn't watch the Teen Choice Awards. Partly because we didn't know they were on, and we no longer have the whole DVR thing, we watch what's on or we internet it. (Its all very 21st century while also very early 20th century.) And partly because we aren't teens and our kids aren't old enough to care yet...not yet. Maybe next year. But this speech has gone viral, and for good reason. Good enough that we want to share it. Because its awesome. Well worth watching, and if your kids are old enough to be dealing with the idea of being "sexy" then watch it with them too. That's the only little hiccup that keeps us from sharing it with our kids at this time; at six and almost five, they aren't quite there yet and shouldn't be. Maybe next year (with the way the world is now). But that is only one part of this speech, so don't let that steer you away. What he has to say is so worth listening to as a parent and for your young people.
