My grandchildren are constantly watching TV shows over at my place. Seemingly, my children have forgotten the joys of cartoons and won't let them watch much at home. So every day after school, once they enter my entryway, the TV turns on and doesn't turn off until their parents come to pick them up.

My grandchildren are my joy and I love to observe them after they get out of school. Yet, they complain every single day about how teentsy my TV set is and how extraordinary theirs is at home.

I have no issues with watching my TV and I am virtually blind but ostensibly, technology has already captured my 5 and 10 year old grandchildren. My spouse is also on the big HDTV frenzy and has been trying to talk me into one forever.

I just don't see the point in laying down cash for something new when I have something already working at home. Last weekend, we were at the center and my spouse dragged me into Best Buy to look around, just like he always does.

He also took me by the hand through the HDTV area as he always does to show me all the outstanding high definition channels they have on show. I must admit that it all does look awesome and all but I am caught in sticker shock.

My spouse then had me talk to a salesperson about all the offers they have at the moment such as free interest if you open up a card through them or 10% off the purchase.

The 10% didn't seem like much but it did help with handling the tax on the television and I guess my grandkids would really love to observe their shows on a nice HDTV. I told the salesperson to hurry up and ring it up before I changed my mind.

Now, I am home with my new high definition television and it is quite spectacular. My blood-shot eyes don't have to strain to see a small picture anymore because the screen is big enough for me to see everything with no problems.

My grandchildren rushed over when they heard of the purchase and you would have thought it was Xmas morning. They could not wait to turn it on and check their shows.

What a pleasure it was to catch them so excited! So I guess I have now jumped into the 21st century with high definition. At least I won't have to hear anymore about how great the HDTV is because I already know.
