Understanding Ratings...

our children are very funny sometimes!! Ben especially is developing a quite keen sense of humour. 
Phill had flicked the TV on the other day to watch a little nothing and of course, once a screen is turned on in this house, two boyish sets of eyes are inadvertently glued to it for the duration!
However, not this day! Ears were tuned in but eyes were busy doing something else - can't remember what. Ben listened as the mellow male voice announced that "the following programme is rated PG. Parental Guidance is required for those under 15 years of age." Or words to that effect anyway.
The funny thing that followed this announcement was Ben piping up saying, "You can't watch this show Daddy, you're not under 15". 

oh how I giggled!!

Luckily Daddy agreed, as it was a show about war and they were showing people getting blasted to bits, which is not something we want our little darlings exposed to at this tender age. He wisely listened to his 7 year old's advice.
