On Blue's Clues, whenever there's a new clue to be found, and the paw print is visible, Steve will turn to the camera and ask, "Do you see the clue?" Then there's a pause, to allow the kids watching to shout out, "On the mailbox" or whatever, then you hear offscreen kids shout, "On the mailbox." It's really entertaining to watch two-year-olds watching this. Of the kids I babysat, the three- and four-year-olds love it, and will answer all the questions Steve asks. The one- and two-year-olds will start looking around at all the adults in the room, with an "Is everyone here very stoned?" look on their faces.
Overwhelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I babysat an 18-month old for an interminable five days. Every afternoon by some osmosis, he would look increasingly anxiously at the tv and chant, "boozecoos, boozecoos, boozecoos." I felt like "Five minutes to Wapner!"
And what does it say about me that Boobah apparently hits me with a stun ray whenever I stumble across it surfing? Can.not.change.the.chan.nel.Send.help.

I went through a phase of watching Teletubbies. DH and I found it so soothing. So simple. So relaxing after a hard day, it was just like being very stoned. Everything is so pwetty! And we liked the songs. We like the Wiggles, too, and walk around singing Hot potato, hot potato! Obviously, if we had children, they would all too soon be much more mature than we are.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
So, I'm the only one out there who thinks the Teletubbies are some sort of mind-controlling evil cult?
Seriously. They hit me the way the Pokemon stuff did. I literally found my teeth chattering. Creeped me out to new and undiscovered levels.

Teletubbies are your friends, deb. Tinky-Winky is your friend. The big happy sun is your friend.

Susan! My sistah!
My blood sister discovered them on the telly in the UK. She despises television here, will rarely watch it. But everytime she talks about the fucking Teletubbies, she gets this odd, glazed look in her eyes.
They're pod creatures. I'm sure of it.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
I got pretty much inured to the teletubbies. Boobah is worse. So. Much. Worse. But then, I can watch Barney now without being completely creeped out, just a little flinchy.

I'm a Boobah virgin. No clue as to what he/she/it is.
And planning on staying that way.
