Hide and Go Seek - Reality TV Style

I hate reality TV.

There. I said it. I would rather stick a fork in my eye than watch one. Okay. Maybe that's an exaggeration. A very slight one though.

The only exception is nature shows. They're old school reality TV and I love them. Shark Week on the Discovery Channel is awesome! Meerkat Manor? Love it. The Discovery Channel is my favorite.

So I was super excited when Ken ordered Planet Earth in high definition for his Blue Ray. (Hehe. I sound like I know what I'm talking about, don't I?) Broken down for people like me, it makes the show more life like.

We decided to watch one with the kids on Africa the other day. We went into Ken's man cave, got a bowl of pop corn and settled in to watch all about the migration of the animals and the monsoons.

It was awesome until it came time for the predator/prey section. Oops. I had forgotten about the predator/prey/kill parts of nature shows. Oh well. We were watching it and had already gone too far down the road.

I mean, it's not like it's CNN where people are killing each other. It's nature. It's educational.

One segment was about a pack of wild dogs that were chasing a pack of gazelles (I think.) It was incredible how the dogs had a plan of action and executed it perfectly.

And then the dogs split the pack of gazelles up and one of the dogs isolated a gazelle and started chasing it. The kids started yelling "go little gazelle, go." But the dog was too fast. And it took the gazelle down.

Shane said he was sad for the gazelle.

Owen said "Oh well. That's what you call hide and go kill."

Tee-hee. Hide and go kill. But, he was right. The dogs hid from the pack and then split up and went seeking to kill the weakest one of the pack. And they succeeded.

Where does he come up with this stuff? Seriously.

Did I mention that the "hide and go kill" section was right after the section on a bird's mating ritual? Oops. I forgot about that part of the nature series too. lol.
