I blame my parents because we were not allowed to watch anything.
Like we were, we were, it was so strict.
We couldn't even watch shows where kids were disrespectful to their parents.
Like, and we could watch, yeah, I saw Smokey and the Bandit with my grandmother who was like a pearl bird drinking, cigarette smoking, um,

And even when I got home from my San Antonio summer, I was grounded for four weeks for watching a PG movie when I was 15, probably.
Yeah.
Like, we just were very strict.

Is there something wrong with me because I can't watch Game of Thrones?
Or is there something wrong with the people who can watch it because they can watch it?
