I hate that his voice is a grown woman's voice. And whiny too. And I tell my kids exactly why they can't watch that show. I say, "Because that kid is a whiner and his parents are wimps."<BR/><BR/>Loved the Trapper Keepers with the beach scene of Hawaii or something tropical like that. And don't forget Peachee folders. Those were awesome!Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04349687071580858191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597252.post-36910913552152261572007-11-21T15:19:00.000-07:002007-11-21T15:19:00.000-07:00Caillou is awful, so whiny.

I hate Caillou too... but mostly I resent his unnaturally patient parents. Don't they ever get frustrated? I do! and my kids are nowhere near as annoying as that little round headed guy.Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05995872507959987970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597252.post-75153882038025572007-11-13T11:45:00.000-07:002007-11-13T11:45:00.000-07:00Last year, at every SEP, we heard that A-- talked ...Last year, at <I>every</I> SEP, we heard that A-- talked too much. (We were not surprised.) He wouldn't let others answer questions during guided reading discussions because he knew all the answers and refused to acknowledge that others might know them too. He's improved a little bit at school this year, but good hell. The kid can't let anyone at home finish a sentence before he interrupts to tell us how absolutely wrong we are. Can he take lessons from your Sam?<BR/><BR/><BR/>You do know that they don't call them Trapper Keepers anymore, right? Or at least so I've been told.

Seriously. I don't know why. <BR/><BR/>So few kids on TV look like real kids either. I like the kids on Medium - they look real, even though they are still obnoxious. They are obnoxious in a real way. Of course I haven't seen that show in about a year, so it's possible I have no idea what I'm talking about.TheOneTrueSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04756132396031048647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597252.post-69117561093781339962007-11-12T22:15:00.000-07:002007-11-12T22:15:00.000-07:00Are firstborn sons preternaturally quiet/shy/insec...Are firstborn sons preternaturally quiet/shy/insecure?

I mean, it would be totally fine if he had a disease that they addressed and explained, or if his siblings also had no hair, like how some shows have people with yellow or blue skin. But it's like his baby sister Rosie has a full shock of flaming red hair and Caillou: not a single Charlie Brown strand. WHY!? And please don't get me started on his voice! Not to mention the voices of his vapid stuffed animals and cat! And I think we are sending our kids the wrong message that they own the world and it revolves around them and they are entitled to anything and everything they want. Bring on the "it's a T, stupid." I miss those days.Carlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09795034572517405008noreply@blogger.com
