and he won’t shut the FUCK UP!

“If you use your mind  
One step at a time  
Then you can do  
Anything  
That you want to do!”

And if thats not fucking bad enough  
“It’s mailtime, mailTIME, MAILTIME!  
Here’s your mail  
It never fails  
It makes me want to wag my tail  
When it comes I want to wail  
(screaming) **MAIL** ”

:::wretch:::barf:::guup:::(weakly)help me

I lived through Barney, Teletubbies, Dora the Explorer, DragonTailz, Big Comfy Couch, Between the Lions,Caillou, Clifford, Bob the Builder,Little Bear, Little Bill, Maisy, and now some damn show about a Siamese Cat.

'Lil Spidey is only 2½! How much more do I have to put up with!?

On the upside, I guess, is that he **will** (willingly) watch SportsCenter with Spidey Sr.

Hey now, I never thought much about ol’ Steve. My kids watch that show all the time. It’s pretty much white noise in the background, that’s how used to it I am.

However, on this one episode, he managed to get Julia Louise-Dreyfus in pajamas, singing all his goofy Blues songs. To get Julia in the sack, I will dress up like Mr. Salt, Magenta, or any other character in the Blues Clues Universe! Nail her right on Blue’s Thinking Chair, yeah baby!

You go, Stevie Boy!! YOU DA MAN!!! Hope you got some hot pajama love from Ms. Dreyfus after you muzzled down Blue and her little friends for Nightie-Night Land. 😃

First of all, it’s “Maaaaaaaaaaaailtiiiiiiiiiiiime”, not “Mailtime”. 😉

And if the 'Lil Spidey is only 2½, just wait. Has he discovered Rugrats yet?  
Does he know “who lives in a pineapple under the sea”?  
How about Dexter’s Laboratory? Scooby Doo?  
How about Wild Thornberries or Rocket Power? (I can’t even decipher the words to the Rocket Power song, anyone know 'em?)

My just-turned-five year old has just found The Flintstones. Cracks him up but good!

I will inflict more torture!

I think it might end something like “Kids on a mission…_Rocket Power!_” but I could be wrong.

I don’t know…I’m stuck between a 3yo (who is just getting tired of Steve but is entranced with Dora) and a 12yo ("mom, come watch _Control Freak_ with me) so I don’t know _where_ I am.

I loved **Today’s Special**! And what was the mouse-thing’s name again? Muffy? Miffy?

I’ve had **“He’s Roly Poly Oly, he’s small and short and round!”** stuck in my head for days now. There is no hope left for me, but you can still save yourselves!

**Spydie** , I likes ya, and we’re kind of neighbors, so I’ll cut you a bit of slack. Of course anytime you spend reading to the li’l arachnid is time not spent watching television. The eldest Olethling[sup]TM[/sup] is now kind of bored with this tripe, she is five and a half[sup]\*[/sup]. Of course the littlest Olethling is still pretty psyched, he practically hyperventilates whilst whipping out his **handy dandy notebook[sup]TM[/sup]**. So stop breeding now and the end is nearer.  
And just wait until he discovers dinosaurs, if hasn’t already.  
[sup]\*It is very important to the child to include all of the fractional parts. Technically she is five and three quarters or so, but we don’t tell her.[/sup]
