The conundrum that I face on a daily basis is that I have two sons who have grown up watching 'The Simpsons,' so they know exactly what buttons to push. They know how Bart irritates Homer, and they use these lines against me to tell me that I'm not funny anymore.

I've conducted an experiment on my kids. Instead of denying them access to media, I've encouraged it. They read comic books, play Nintendo and watch way too much TV.

I'm a fan of animation and so, the more stuff that doesn't look like the other stuff that's out there, I'm in favor.

Buy Space Ghost cereal, but don't eat the prizes.

My standard comment is, If you don't want your kids to be like Bart Simpson, don't act like Homer Simpson.

I can't believe it! Reading and writing actually paid off!

I also found child's play - stuff that was not considered serious, but goofy - was the stuff I liked to do, so I still do it as an adult.
