#9- Student Choice- Honey Boo Boo

I can admit it.  I am an Honey Boo Boo addict.  From the first time I saw Alana on Toddlers and Tiaras I've been hooked.  When the camera crew is laughing so hard that you can hear the giggles while they are filming, you know you've found gold and TLC took full advantage of exploiting the whole family.

You can think what you want about June, Sugar Bear, and the rest of the crazy family.  They are definitely not the perfect parents, and allow their children to do things that make my skin crawl, but you can't say that they don't love their girls and don't spend time with them, because it is evident that they do.

Sometimes I wonder what Alana would be like as a student in my class. I've been impressed with her math skills at 6 years old.  While helping her mom at Piggly Wiggly with her extreme couponing, she could quickly add money in her head.  Some of my third graders can't do that.  She could also figure out how many her mom could purchase of each item, impressive once again.  In another episode she wrote "Welcome Home Kaitlin" with sidewalk chalk.  She had neat handwriting and spelled the words correctly.  She is crazy and loud, but I think she would be a hoot to laugh at all day long.

In the words of Mama June "you ride with the flow, and when its over you get off and start your next adventure."  I know I can't wait until the new season to see what kinds of crazy adventures they encounter next.
