Where can you learn The Preamble? Schoolhouse Rock, of course! Wyatt has to learn The Preamble, so we spent some time this afternoon watching Schoolhouse Rock and other various things on You Tube. As usual....one thing leads to another on You Tube and we watched a little bit of a lot of things. One of our favorite clips is from the old Carol Burnett Show. The one where Tim Conway tells about the Siamese elephants. (Watch it here and be ready to laugh.) We watched them talk about boobs on the Match Game, and we watched the opening parts several old shows (The Electric Company, Zoom, and Petticoat Junction).
When Ben was little, all he wanted to watch was Barney and Batman and Power Rangers. He liked CatDog and Cow & Chicken too. Most of it on channel two seven. Ben loved to watch Rescue 911, too. Wyatt loved the Teletubbies and Gullah Gullah Island and Fairly Odd Parents. He also loved watching shows about Fire Trucks and Fire Stations.The shows that made me crazy....I wish I could hear in the background sometimes now. Hearing the sweet sounds of children's shows makes everything in the world seem right for a few minutes. The babies are happy and entertained while Momma is making dinner or cleaning up the toys....or perhaps just enjoying that they are busy. As they get older, the house gets louder and more rambunctious...for awhile. Then they get even older...and it gets very quiet again.
So, as I read over what I've written.....maybe we ARE that old....or at least getting there?
