… The Wonder Pets, Yo Gabba Gabba and the strange puppets on Little Einstein’s?

Emilia starts screaming and laughing as soon as any of the above mentioned shows comes on. I sit there, a little bit concerned about my own nightmares that are sure to ensue.

I’ve been told to be thankful that the Teletubbies aren’t on anymore.

I’m not sure what bothers me exactly:

– Is it the fact that a hamster with a yellow baseball cap, and a turtle with a lisp, are out saving the planet?

– Do I get the creeps from the skeleton-thin man in a spandex orange jumpsuit, bright orange shag wig and oversized black-framed spectacles that is playing “D.J. says” with my child?

– Or is it just the fact that I get all the silly little songs stuck in my head for days on end?

I breathe a sigh of relief when Spongebob or Dora the Explorer is on.

Emilia likes those too, and I’m a huge Patrick Star fan.
