My Three-year-old Friend came to play. She was, as always, an absolute delight.
Normally when she comes we do not watch TV, but yesterday it droned on in the background most of the day.
Because of this, I have a new children's show that I hate. I hate 'Lazytown' something or other. I'm sure there must exist someone who likes it, but don't even try to convince me.
This show would make a wonderful punishment for adults behaving badly. Do it again, and you will be forced to watch this swill for an afternoon.
I have never despised a television show this much since that stupid stupid stupid 'Bubbleland Opera' on Mr. Roger's Neighborhood. I LOVE Mr. Roger's, but that 'Bubbleland Opera' could make this sober grown woman cry. I truly hated it.
Yesterday I stood my ground and turned the channel when those strange colorful blobby things on PBS that make weird sighing sounds came on. I don't know what they are, or what they are supposed to be, but they are not welcome in my home.
Ask me in a few years, but I don't think I want Grandson exposed to any of this. His mother HATED television as a child, and hopefully he will also. What I DO know is that he will not be watching lazytown, bubbleland or sighing blobs with ME!

I hate that Lazytown show, too! When it comes on, I say, "Oh, that's a yucky show," and I turn the channel. Blech!
I, too, cannot stand that show!! I just realized it the other day, as it came on in the background and I was instantaneously annoyed. Happy Thanksgiving!
Don't you just love being the grown-up, most days?
That's where I'm lucky to be the "working away from home" parent rather than the "staying at home with a three year old" parent. I don't know ANY of the kids shows right now, and that's fine with me. It's funny though, when hubby knows them better than I do.
(But that's not to say I ALWAYS feel lucky to be the "working away from home" parent. Many times I'd put up with some lame kids shows if I could be home.)
Wow...look at all this "grandma" practice you are getting!! You will be ready when the little guy comes along soon!

When my kids were little, they loved the Canadian show "The Polka Dot Door". THGGM discovered it and was extremely impressed by how it held the kid's attention.
My kids were always SO impressed that I 'knew' when it was "Poke-a-rooh" day. Thursday. Every Thursday.
I miss being able to impress my kids. :(
