		<description>Great Shot! We had warm weather &amp; clean lawns &amp; motorcycles &amp; convertables all weekend. 
Thanks for the insight of what I'm in for: annoying sing-songs, stuck in my head, then a broken heart when they out-grow it. Imagine what a mess we'll be when they go off to college!

		<description>But did the Pirate with the tickleing implement sing like Ozzy Osbourne? That was the highlight of the show when we took my offspring a few years back. My two were so into them, despite a 3 year age difference, I had my mom make them t-shirts that were all the different colors of Those Who Shall Not Be Named. Many parents wanted to know at which souvenier stand we got them at.

Now, I do have a t-shirt with the ORIGINAL cast of Those Who Shall Not Be Named on it, if Jayna would like it. My youngest has outgrown it.</description>

		<description>With you on the punching.  We're done with Those Who Must Not Be Named in our household (youngest just turned 9 today), but we still find ourselves singing their goofy songs occasionally.

Growing up is hard sometimes.  I'm positive that's why my almost-12-year-old has a Peter Pan complex.

Shit, I think that's why I have a PP complex.

		<description>First, let me make clear that I am a 32-year-old woman who is currently shopping around for a big-ticket SUV that will properly haul the big-ticket yacht I bought last week. The boat was no more than a whim, something I saw after picking up a new washer-dryer combo and my 15th TV. (That should do it.)

Second, may I point out that, despite her initial shyness, there is absolutely nothing cuter than a "kid on a rope" (my husband's term for our preschool's similar practice) dressed as Snow White? It really takes away from the chain gang aspect and emphasizes the adorable factor.</description>

		<description>My youngest was really into the Wiggles back in the day (yeah, he's 7.5 years old now. so old). I always thought the reason was because those doofs act just like their dad does so it was comfortable :o)

As annoying as their songs can be, I think that the fact that 3 of the founding guys were pursuing early education does make a difference in what they do. They truly love kids (not just the $$ they make off said kids parents) and it shows.

I have kept a couple of the Wiggles VHS tapes (yeah, that's how long ago it was) for nostalgia sake.</description>
