Why I Let My Kids Watch The Big Bang Theory
(#5 was “It’s okay to be smart”)
6. …but it’s not okay to tell everyone
Sheldon’s mom told him when he was a little boy, “Because people don’t want to hear it!”
7. It’s okay to make mistakes. If you make a mistake, apologize.
In The Apology Insufficiency, Sheldon accidentally ruins Howard’s chance to become an astronaut.
8. There is such a thing as too many cats
See The Zazzy Substitution.
9. True friends stick by you no matter what
Watch the series. See how many times:
* Sheldon insults his friends but they still remain his friends
* they defend each other from a cyber bully, Penny’s ex-boyfriend, and Wil Wheaton
* they take care of each other when one is sick (except when the boys make Penny look after a sick Sheldon)
* they help each other through tough times like break-ups and broken Star Trek toys
10. Sometimes songs will make you feel better although my kids will tell you that Soft Kitty is only for when you’re sick.
Everyone is technically a bit nerdy in their own ways. š
