No Heavy Wonderpetting

The other day as we were walking out of a friend's birthday party, another dad asked me what the Wonderpets' names actually were, because his daughter thought they were something different. I'm like, "I have no idea, but I can look it up."

Then last night at dinner, the kid starts insisting we sing together: "Winnie, SUCK, and Ming Ming, too!"

And I'm all, "Kiddo, I can be about 100% certain it is not 'Suck'."

And she's all, "It IS SUCK! SUCK! It's SUCK!"

So now we're looking for a new pan-Asian restaurant for a little while, a few weeks at least.

names? they have names?
oh fer heavens sake now I have to go look it up!


Turtle TUCK TUCK TUCK
Linny and Ming Ming

this is serious.

My Pumpkin and her friend were playing the other day (they're both about 3) and all of a sudden, they started bagging on another of their friends, who's only 2--they were singing the Wonderpets theme, and then they go, "[She] says 'Numberpets,'" and they start laughing their heads off.

[it's so adorable when they get all "lord of the flies" on the little ones, isn't it? -ed.]

It is Tuck and she said Suck? So she got the first letter wrong... I guess it could have been worse...

[indeed. She's been playing this rhyming game, where she'll start randomly scrolling through new first letters on a word. -ed.]

Am I the only one that is terrified by the Wonderpets? They're nearly as trippy as the teletubbies...yech!

My daughter insists that DJ Lance(Yo Gabba Gabba) is named TJ Maxx.

[that didn't take long -ed.]

Actually, shouldn't it be:

"This is sewious"

And if that kid wants to call it "suck", I say go with G-d my child.
