Crabs, Crap and Dinosaurs: The Unholy Alliance You Never Saw Coming

Yesterday BH watched some of the new animated Batman.  This is not related but grant me a bit of a nerd rant, if I may...

The majority of American Action cartoons are just not made to be good these days from my experience.  The stories are always poorly written, the animation is pathetically hideous and the voice actors are not even trying.

I feel sorry for BH, having to grow up on rubbish.

Thank you and now back to the story at hand...

After watching Batman, BH began watching Ben 10.

I suppose before he went to bed, he was still watching Ben 10.  I do not know too much about this show but I do know that alien monsters are involved.

At around 10:30 p.m., I received a call from BH.

"...inaudible... On Ben 10, the Craposaur is coming!", I was told.

"The wha'...? What is that?", I replied.

"The Craposaur! He's going to come!", was the response.

This conversation about a Craposaur was followed by H1's hysterical laughing.  She informed me that there was actually a "Crab" monster on Ben 10 but for some reason, BH cannot say crab.

Or maybe he honestly believes that it is a Craposaur.

I'm not certain how the dinosaur bit came in but maybe it looked like that.

I can safely say that I hope to never see such an unholy alliance or beast come my way anytime soon or ever.

Too Much

Today, Grandma was told:

"You watch too many newses. It is time to watch my show now."

It's true, she does.

If only he were here at nights when Grandma watches Nancy Grace and CNN for about 2 hours every night.

Re-Living Our Childhood

No longer does he want to watch PBS Kids Sprout or Noggin.

It's all Tom & Jerry, The Flinstones and Pink Panther for him.

(Pink Panther had me rolling the other day, by the way).

H1 and I want to ween him off these violent shows because he's just too young to understand that when someone gets flattened by a rock, they don't just pop back up as H1 pointed out (not that, he could have the strength to pick up a boulder but he does have the strength to start stoning people).
We watched these things when we were kids and turned out alright (heh) but we just can't take that chance.
While it makes me a bit happy he's watching the good stuff (although we all hated Tom & Jerry and didn't really care for the Flinstones - why won't he watch Top Cat?!), he's better off reading the red and green books.

Unfortunately, he's had a taste of vintage cartoons and cannot go back.

I can't wait for the day when I can introduce him to Looney Toons.
