While having teenage sons presents certain challenges, at least we get to watch stuff like Lone Survivor together, instead of the programs under discussion!

Add Thomas the Train to that list. Ours will stand there and not blink for the whole episode. Freaks me out a little. And he also turns completely deaf to his surroundings during these three.

Anyone else want to punch Gaspar and Lisa show creator square in the mouth. Them and their snotty French friends. That show drives me nuts. It doesn't get watched while I'm home.

Still wouldn't trade a minute of listening to any of it though. I used to think my friends with kids were weird when they would bust out singing songs from the Disney Junior stuff or the Pixar movies. Now I'm one of them. There is one member on here who got our 3yo a little toy truck of some kind that has a music button on it. Hit the button and it plays a 15 second song. He comes running in, puts it on the floor, hits the button, and the whole family has to break it down and dance. Didn't dance one time and he gave me the saddest look so we oblige every time now. Dang I'm a sucker. Just glad it isn't a little girl. Guess I'm saying I'll miss all of this when he gets older. Wish he would stay 3 for a while longer.

yeah, we have every Thomas toy they make... now those Thomas toys just sit there and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles lair and figures get all the play time. Our bonus/toy room consist of 450,000 "pieces" of toys. I bet you couldn't find a complete toy with all the parts if you spent 8 hours looking.

Same here. He has about every train engine in the collection and hundreds of pieces of tracks. He used to play with them non stop now it's not nearly as often. He wants to watch TMNT but the first episode we let him watch they sliced someone's head off. No more of that for him. And I find pieces of stuff everywhere. There was a tinder for one the trains in my boot the other day. Hurt like Hades when I jammed my foot down in there. Found a used pull up in my pillow case once. Found a couple of the hungry hippos marbles in the kitchen in the middle of the night, no hungry hippo game in our house. The list goes on and on. Just have to laugh them off after the pain goes away.

I don't know what it is, but that Nina on the Good Night Show can put me to bed anytime.

All I have to say is "let it go, let it go".

My little girl walks around the house singing that song.

My wife wanted to see Frozen and loved it. She will walk around singing "Let it go"....so all y'all quite your whining!! At least you have kids to use as a reason you know the words
