The things she picks up....

I really don't like that the people of the entertainment world make animated shows that really aren't appropriate for kids. It looks like a kids movie, but there's all sorts of adult humor in them. And Hope likes to watch anything animated. Lately it's been Fairly Odd Parents, Spongebob, and Jimmy Neutron, all of which I don't really like. But since she tends to watch tv in the basement and I don't want to go down there and change the channels for her, she watches whatever is on the Disney channel. Anyway, yesterday morning I was in bed with her and we were talking, and she says "Wait, I need to tell you two things." She holds up her first finger, then says "shut", holds up the second finger and finishes with "up". I know she could tell I was trying not to laugh as I was telling her that wasn't nice and not to say that again. She was smirking because she knew she'd said something funny-it was more the delivery that was funny. David said he saw that on something she was watching, so at least I know where she got it.

She doesn't watch VeggieTales as much as she used to, but she still listens to the CDs every night. So the other day when we bought a cucumber at the store, she said something about Larry the Cucumber. David cut up the cucumber for his salads and has been eating it for a few days. Last night when she wanted a bite of his dinner, he put in a piece of the cucumber. Being my kid, she can tell if there's the smallest bit of something that she doesn't like in what she's eating, so she spit out the piece of cucumber and said, "Larry doesn't taste very good!"

That's too funny. At least she isn't like Grant using words like "ill" and "frightened" that he picks up on the British-made Thomas. Pretty soon he's going to be asking to go to the water closet when he has to pee.
