Dammit Captain Feathersword! You and your “Wiggles” friends got that stupid song stuck in my head. Usually Elliot is not one for the TV, except for the odd episode of “Backyardigans” or “Comfy Couch”. But if it has a song in it, she will not let you turn it off. After renting several episodes of “Kidsongs” (which we dubbed “Kiddie Crack”) from the library and wanting to kill myself because the insipid tunes were branded into my brain, we took a little break from kid’s videos to regain our adult-sanity. Now, the Kiddie Crack has returned with a vengeance in the form of a “Wiggles” DVD gifted to Elliot by her Nana. For the love of Christmas, won’t someone please make it STOP.
On the bright side, I will admit to liking the charming Australians more than the 1980’s freaky-frozen-smiled kids who ooze sugar out of their very pores. I can usually tune out the Wiggles at will and some of their songs are disturbingly delightful. Watching Elliot dance is also super-entertaining so I guess I will embrace the Wiggles as they are still not nearly as evil as those Kidsongs’ kids.
What is it about that tea song? I too would not like to have another cup, another cup, another cup of rosy tea. Make it go away!
I just bought Jane a Little People CD and instantly regretted it. Long after Jane has gone to bed I’m still singing about that stupid Muffin Man. And honestly the Wiggles (or as my teenage neice refers to them, the four gay guys) are just too much. Maybe I just haven’t built my kiddie entertainment tolerance. Jane is heavily addicted to one Baby Einstein video which now only comes out in a melt-down emergency situation. I like to watch too – it keeps me sharp. At least when I get back to work I’ll still be able to count to five.
OMG, Tammy! Too funny a description of the kiddy entertainment. I am happy to report after almost a year of working, that my brain no longer resembles mush and I can usually count to 10 in one try. Usually…
