peanut gallery

for the last six months or so we have been subjected to a show on pbs called the good night show. it's short cartoon shows with crafts and learning games between each show. they do a nice job. however, it gets old. really old. so my husband and i have resorted to an impromptu mystery science theatre 3000 every night. edwardsburg version. we usually fall victim to the show about seven. i think the entire show runs from six to eight. however, our kids stop watching after a show called pajanimals. sometimes until ear bleeding caillou but then it's time for bed. pajanimals is a muppet puppet jim henson production. it is really cute. there is a horse. a duck. a cow. and a dog. they are usually filmed in their beds but sometimes they wander into their bathroom. they sing one song per show about going to sleep, nighttime rituals or when to get up in the morning and that type of thing. i can thank them for will's new need to now get a drink of water before bed. anyway, last night the song was about what mom does after they go to bed. blah, blah, blah, you are always in her heart. as the song goes. they kept singing about their mom. it begged the question what kind of mom would a horse, duck, cow and dog have? so i asked. out. loud. my husband summed it up in one word. whore.
