I've been duped! Or was I?...

I missed a lot of televised entertainment in the year of 1994. I was 8 years old and I had made a bet with my father. If I could stop watching TV for one year, he would give me..........ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS! Throughout the year, I kept busy doing homework or reading while everybody was gathered around the tube. It was also a great guilt trip for my siblings and parents when they would just sit down to watch something and I would appear with a deck of cards or to request a game of street tennis. My brother made a similar bet, but it was for fifty dollars and he had to stop playing nintendo. He made it two weeks, haha. At the end of that year on New Year's Day at the stroke of midnight, my dad handed me $150 (a bonus because he never thought I would make it). A small fortune! I felt like the luckiest kid on earth and I had worked hard for my money. Nowadays, I spend more than I made that year for a one night stay at the Hampton Inn. The thing is though, as an adult I have particular shows that I watch every week but I can never seem to be the kind of person to just sit down and suck my life away in front of the TV. I have a feeling that my dad's gift to me 14 years ago was more than just the cash.
