conversational issues

I think I'm going to have to start devouring children's pop culture, just so I can talk to my nephews.


Yesterday, Caleb told me he'd watched Rack, Shack, and Benny. (From Veggietales.)

I know from experience that "Really? What happened in the story?" will get nothing but blank looks. But having seen R,S,&B multiple times, I could instantly ask "Really? Did they sing the Bunny Song?" and other intelligent questions.


This presents a problem. Because eventually, they're going to be watching/reading/whatevering things that I've never heard of - and I'll be back to "what happened?" and blank looks.

I can see myself avidly watching the latest Power Rangers equivalent...

Oh, man, VeggieTales was so great. washa_way and I can still do a passable version of the cheeseburger song.

The new PR series next year will be interesting.

It probably will...

I loved the Bunny Song. Although I'm more a 'Silly Songs With Larry' fan. In particular I love the Water Buffalo Song. :P




STOP BEING SO SILLY!

My favourite was always the Hairbrush Song. :)
