They aren't all crazy people.

Today on channel 11 on one of the daytime talk shows that is famous for airing these types of shows they had the usual segments where the mother yells and screams how this man is the father of her child and how he will have to "pay". And then the announcement that he is "NOT" the father sends her off the stage to cry in the back of the set. She never even attempts to apologize for humiliating this man on television. They also had segments where the man vehemently denies being the father and really is. In one case the man denied being he father of four children by two different women because he was 21 and he didn't believe it made sense but in the end he was the dad of all four.

The segment that most interested me was about a man a man named Rio who was engaged to Tiffany and they had a baby boy together. The problem they encountered was that he had been told by family members that in his childhood he had been given some type of medication and that a side effect was that he was made sterile. He now had his doubts. He made it clear that he wanted to be the child's father but that he needed to know for himself. His fiance felt that her word should be good enough. Another issue that put doubt in his mind was the fact that they had broken up for a time and that she was dating someone else. It became clear that he had some reasonable concerns. Well it was a great moment when he found out he was the father. He looked so sincerely happy and relieved.

That was one of those times when you are thankful to have the opportunity to watch.

Talk to you again soon!
