My mother is my brothers son, maybe............

I was sat here the other day watching a certain, and very popular, morning daytime television program. This was not a program from which I could enter a competition from which I could win huge amounts of money and other prizes, if I answered a seemingly silly question, such as -

What colour is an orange?
a) Blue
b) Orange
c) Green

I am almost tempted to answer "a)" just for the sheer stupidity!!!

So, having established it is a show on ITV, and not the one with Holly and Phil............

I want to explain why we all should view the earlier show, learn from what we see, and also take comfort from the issues and situations we have been privy to!!

Let us start with what seems to be a normal situation -

A young (trailer trash type) girl appears on  screen, she is over 16, for legal reasons, she has a few children, and one of them, probably called something like Britney or worse, has an equally young Father, who is the Father of 2 or 3 other children as well, because he doesn't like condoms, and even if he does he cannot speak enough to actually go into a shop and buy them!! But alas for poor Britney, he denies she is his as he only slept with her Mother a dozen times, and as she is known as the local bike, Britney could be someone else's, besides Chardonnay, the trailer trash, has said he's not the dad so he can't be!!!

Then her friend starts shouting abuse from the audience, our poor host is getting lost here, in desperation he gets the mother and potential fathers mother out. They hate each other, they have never met, they have never spoken, and yet before anyone has chance to move they are hurling abuse at each other!!

Why, why are these two so angry?  because it turns out that unbeknown to the children the two mothers are also estranged sisters!! So now Chardonnay has a child by her cousin, that she never knew she had, and she hates him as well, and now there is a grey area as the law may have been broken!!!

Chardonnay wants a DNA test done to shut up Darren, the father, once and for all, that was all she wanted, suddenly she has a huge can of worms...........

"The DNA results show....... well, well, well, Darren, this needed doing when Britney was younger than the 4 she is now, but, this little girl, is.............NOT your daughter, I am really sorry!!"

At this point Darren starts crying, suddenly he wanted to be Dad, the mother goes mad and Chardonnay storms off, The Host follows,

"What now, do you know who is the father??"

Chardonnay reveals then and only then, that she thinks there may be 6 people in the frame for father, but if it is not one of those it is definitely one of the other 8 she knows of!!!

And so the show rolls on................

This is why we should watch this show, sometimes we watch this with our mouths open and we see the
 mother as her brothers son, literally!!

But the show serves a real purpose; in life everyone has ups and downs, we all suffer from periods when things are not looking good or going as planned. Sometimes we call it depression, or bad luck or just being plain fed up. This is where the show cuts in -

No matter how bad things seem, no matter how many blind alleys we find ourselves in, when we watch this show and then we see all these, and I apologise, but, "numptys" who seem to be without any idea, we suddenly realise that our lives, and issues are actually fairly insignificant and nothing to worry about.

So, I implore everyone to watch the Jeremy Kyle Show, and when the amazement in you drops away, smile and realise how easy things really are!!!!
