Ivo found out about Teletubbies. He thinks they live in my laptop. Who thought it was a smart idea to show him Teletubbies on Youtube? Me, that's who! I thought Teletubbies were funny and strange. They appeal to my aesthetics, I guess, in a way that most kiddie crap doesn't. Most children's shows on TV make me do a mental barf. So Tubbies it is. I chose this Tubbie poison.
However, I have to say that the Tubbie creators really know their shit when it comes to getting inside the brain of an 18 month old child. Ivo is wont to whisper "t-u-b-b-i-e-s" in my ear as I am carrying him downstairs in the morning, like I am all of a sudden going to say, "Hey?! I am all of a sudden CRAVING some Tubbies this morning at 6:45 am! Coffee be damned! Let's watch some Tubbies!" Subliminal advertising. Ha. This child is going to have to get more subliminal than that to control my brain. BUT... He'll be puppeteering me soon enough. And hopefully writing this blog for me!
Over and out.

Sometimes the voices in my head whisper, "T U B B I E S." I never knew what they meant until now!
In Korea we have this Penguin-dude called "Pororo" and he and all of his strange pals (a bear, a beaver, a bird and a baby dragon)have taken over Hayden's life. She's transfixed. And since it comes on early(ish) in the morning (9:00) I don't mind her watching. I fix my coffee while she sits gape-mouthed in front of the TV.
She calls him "Po-wo-WO!". And I think she's a genuis. :)
