Who's the baby-daddy?  − 16 January, 2008

So it makes me laugh now that Casey Aldridge, the reported father of Jamie-Lynn Spears’ baby, has now distanced himself from her as he questions whether or not he is the father. There’s a shocker. Apparently, they both “strayed” during the relationship – the reason? Because they are teens. I didn’t know that was a valid reason for promiscuity, but perhaps it is in Louisiana.
And according to local townsfolk, her being 16 and pregnant is NORMAL in those parts, and they can’t understand why the rest of the country is shocked. They think it’s just because she’s famous. Well, that’s part of it, but if we have to explain why we are all shocked, you wouldn’t get it anyway, sister.
So I guess they raise ‘em young and fast down in those parts. Such a shame. Being raised in the northeast, we girls were raised quite a bit differently – our priorities were very different. Luckily, Jamie-Lynn can support her poor decisions, but I shudder to think about all the unwed “normal” teen mothers in backwoods, I meant Kentwood, Louisiana.
I think it’s got to be a joke that Jamie-Lynn and her mom are attending local parenting classes. I hope the instructor includes something about exploitation and perhaps birth control.
Maybe I am being too harsh. Perhaps this is Jamie-Lynn’s cry for help or attention. Or just that she is an idiot and couldn’t keep her legs closed. I find it so ironic that she and Casey met in church. What kind of church fosters underage fornication? Out in the open, I mean. 
Maybe they should go on Maury Povich and have him do a DNA test. I know Maury always has those sensationalized shows where they have a mom, a kid and the supposed baby-daddy… they do a DNA test and some are the fathers and some are not (to the shock and embarrassment of the poor promiscuous mom who probably doesn’t even know what man fathered the child at this point). It makes for great TV – the screaming, the yelling, the always-adorable innocent baby, the trash parents… and then the announcement… and then you either get the righteously indignant baby-mama brow-beating the poor baby-daddy, or the baby-mama who flees the stage, hysterical because she doesn’t know who the baby-daddy really is. Maury is always there to make sure the baby-daddy steps up to the plate or tell the baby-mama he will help her find the REAL baby-daddy. So entertaining. It’s addictive. I can’t help myself.
So, we wait, with bated breath, to find out whether or not Casey Aldridge is Jamie-Lynn’s baby-daddy. Perhaps it will be another circus-event for the Spears family – they’ve got enough going on for a 3-Tent event at this point – a bunch of clowns running around doing ridiculous things. Oh, wait, that’s NORMAL for Louisiana…

It is so sad isn't it? !! At 16 I was stil into 4-H and riding horses! I think it has to do a lot with the southern mentality, but also with this upcoming generation. I think we have sensasionalized them since birth!
