NO! The title doesn't mean this post is going to be about my sex life with Hubby!
I know kids like to watch the same thing over and over, but this is getting ridiculous.
Critter likes, or I should say loves, music. I constantly sing to him a variety of kid songs. I'll sing while we're in a car, walking and he's in the stroller, just sitting around. If I stop he'll say "more, more".
About a month ago, we watched our Chitty Chitty Bang Bang DVD (so he can listen to the music) and he hasn't stopped watching it! Every day, he'll pick up the remote, point it at the TV and say "Ka"
He's only interested in the scenes with the KA (car). We start the DVD at the scene where the car comes out of the garage all spruced up, and they drive off for a picnic, picking up Truly along the way.......AND that F*CKING SONG starts!
Hubby's favorite line in the movie is when Dick runs Truly off the road into the lake and he says " You'll find a slight squeeze on the hooter an excellent safety precaution" (3:25 in the linked video).....and she still goes on the picnic with them. Maybe she's hoping Dick will show her how a hooter is squeezed.
Critter likes when I sing Do Re Mi but I don't dare put in the Sound of Music DVD. There would be only so much of Maria I can take.
Watching that clip was a hateful, painful experience. I think I'd rather spend 2 hours eating shards of broken glass than watch this movie in its entirety once, never mind the endless loops you have to endure.
ReplyDeleteIt could be worse. You could be watching Wizard of Oz over and over, or anything Barney related. Actually, any musical is awful.
ReplyDeleteI once worked at an Abraham & Strauss department store during the Christmas season, and I worked right next to the video department. I got to hear The Sound of Music several times a day for 2 months. By the end I was rooting for the Nazis.
ReplyDeleteWhile in Austria in Sept. we took a 'Sound of Music' Tour. The hills were alive.
ReplyDeleteBut if I had to watch that movie over and over, I'd want to send Maria back to the nunnery
Yesterday, my older sister emailed asking if she should get Critter "the chitty chitty bang bang movie theme song 100x on one dvd so u don't have to use the remove"
ReplyDeleteI guess she read this.
So she's the ONE reading this blog.
