Taking YouTube requests from the kids is a pretty common thing for us. In fact, when they even see me just sit down near the laptop they surround me, hurling search terms out in the air - Spiderman! Barbie! Me! Lightning McQueen! Hannah Montana! Charlie Bit Me! Funny Videos!
It actually can be a lot of fun. We all really crack up over Charlie Bit My Finger and the other night we watched some boy talk about his cool Spiderman action figures for six minutes. (That one wasn't a blast for me but Nate was totally into it.) That same night, we ventured into a few "Lightning McQueen" videos. That's when we saw a cute picture of a Beagle puppy labeled, "Talking Puppy!!" Of course, I clicked on it.
The clip was fine for the first few seconds but then - well - you can just watch it and see for yourself.
Yeah. Not the best thing for the kids to see, especially right before bed when that's pretty much the last thing they'll see for that day. I told them it was pretend and that it was just some guy who was wearing a lot of scary makeup for Halloween. That, plus a few more "innocent" Spidey and Barbie videos, seemed to help them forget about the crazy man screaming at them as they were trying to watch the dang puppy say "I love you!"
Of course, I've known you never know what you're going to get with YouTube vids but my cockiness with my searching and selecting ability got the best of me. I guess I'll just have to screen the videos the best I can before pressing play.
Nate really loves to rock out to some David Cook. He even recognizes him when he sees him on television. Here's a sample of how serious he gets when he's belting it out -
Andrew has the best line for whenever Nate starts acting crazy. He looks at Nia and says, "I think he's broken! Do we need to take him back to the Baby Store?"
Nia, being the sweet big sister she is, will laugh and say, "No Daddy! You're silly!"
It's the same thing every time and every time it makes us all chuckle. Well, except when Mommy tries to use the line. I said it the other night and Nia flat out told me, "No Momma! That's what Daddy is s'posed to say!"
I guess I need to be taken to the Get Your Own Line Store.
Teaching Nia about germs has turned her into more than a germophobe - she's a misunderstood germophobe.
According to Nia, a little girl she didn't know (let's call her Sally) called her mean. Nia says it's all because Sally wanted to play with Nia's new My Little Ponies but Nia told Sally she didn't want to let her play with them because then she would get Nia's germs.
I mean, Nia was just looking out for Sally's wellbeing right? It wasn't like Nia was saying, "Ew. I don't want you to touch my ponies because you got cooties."
Maybe Sally's mom/dad still have to teach her about how to be a proper and considerate germophobe.
Who needs a busy body policing the neighborhood when you have a 4 year old?
Today, Nia made it known to me and the neighbor across the street that she disapproved of how he was dressed. This "he" is a teenage boy who is constantly working on his car that has one of those deliberately loud mufflers on it (speak of the devil - I hear the car now) and one of those "systems" that he decides to blare at odd hours of the night.
Anyway, today Nia announced out her brother's open bedroom window, "Momma! That boy who's our neighbor is outside and doesn't have a shirt on!"
I'm not sure if he heard or not and I really don't care anyway. I know I'm supposed to "love thy neighbor" and I keep telling myself that but every time I hear his annoyingly loud car I feel the urge to cuss under my breath.
Maybe I should get Nia to give him a piece of my mind. The G-rated version, of course.
