… and in last night’s episode, the 4th Doctor repaired a computer terminal for some primitive villagers.
My fourteen-year-old son: **"There you go! Now you can play Zork!"**

My four year old has been building TARDISES and Daleks out of lego all day. This is a two year obessession, so far. The toddler’s walking around saying, “Docta. Docta”.
It’s cute.
I’m Amy, and my two-year-old is Rory, and the four-year old is the eleventh Doctor. Wr’re into NuWho, although my husband has watched the whole forty year run.

I have a mental image of the toddler saying, “WHERE. IS. MY. MOMMY” to a bunch of Cybermen.

When you put them to bed and you flip the switch to make the room dark, do they shout **“Hey! Who turned out the lights?”** 😃

I bought this [Levitating Tardis](http://www.amazon.com/Doctor-Who-Timelord-Spinning-TARDIS/dp/B003WUVBK8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1337356331&sr=8-1) and thought it was great fun (it runs on batteries.)
