My 80th birthday was this past Friday. My son drove the 1,000 miles from his home to celebrate with me. My real surprise was on his way he stopped at the airport to pick my grandson, his SO, and their 14 month old daughter (my great granddaughter). Anyway, we have a granddaughter with 7 children, the oldest of which is a senior in high school. He plays on the school's football team and they had a game Friday night. With modern technology, we could watch the game on YouTube. So, I brought the game up on my laptop and suggested I get my HDMI cable to connect it to the big screen TV. I've done it before and it works just fine. I'm about to do that and my sons asks if the TV is a smart TV. Well, yes, but I've never set up that feature. My grandson says there is no setup needed and I should be able to get YouTube on it and just log in to my YouTube account. Okay, let's do it.

Everything was going good until my grandson gets me logged in. While I'm waiting on my grandson to then find the game, I notice YouTube shows the last 5 searches I've done on YouTube. The 2nd one on the list is: Crossdressers. I do a quick scan of the room. My wife isn't looking at the TV as she's facing my son talking with him. My son is looking at my wife. My grandson is paying attention to the keyboard he has to type on using the cursor. His SO isn't in the room. I honestly don't believe anyone noticed. Had my wife seen it, I know I'd have heard about it later. If anyone had asked about it, I'd have replied I have a friend that cross-dresses, and I was researching it to learn more about why men cross dress.

I couldn't believe this happened. I now know how to delete searches from my YouTube account so I don't risk this in the future. I sure wish they had let me hook up the HDMI cable.
