Kids are fascinating creatures...they seem to pick up all
the things you don’t want them to learn and struggle with the simple things. I
have been told by my 3 year old that I “ruin his life”. This is the same kid
that struggles with the word yellow! I always blamed it on those other kids at
preschool or those potty mouth people in the shopping centre but lately vie been
paying more attention to the things he watches on TV. I’m not talking about The
Simpsons or Futurama. I’m talking Toy Story and Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory! Imagine my horror when I realize that during
these innocent looking kids movies the characters are screaming at each other
to shut up and calling each other idiots...and apparently telling each other
that they ruin each other’s life! Seems that short of wrapping kids in a bubble
and never letting them out of it there is really no way to prevent them
learning less then desirable things. And I have to admit, at my sickest times
during this pregnancy there was no better babysitter than the TV.
