subplotkudzuOf a quack who's gone to the dogs.
That's right, the baby has moved from Telletubbies to the Muppets. We put Tubs on the other day and she contemptuously said "Off". The next day she was walking around demanding "Mups! Mups!"
It's a welcome change, though the Tubs kind of grew on me over time. Other than the arguments about whether Tubs have free will or if Teletubbieland was actually the Village (Run, Dipsy! Run!), the strangest moment for me was when my brain suddenly parsed the twittery British matron accent and I realized to my shock that the flowers were talking! For months I had just heard it as the flowers making high pitched warbles, no more explicable than the tinkling noise the Tubbies make when they bump bellies.
I swear the moment of translation cost me 3 points of SAN.
In any event, now we're in Muppets Season 1, which is an absolute kick to the box of buried memories in my brain. Go, Fozzie!

Hmm...I should try her out on *The Muppet Show* some day.

Worse Than Teletubbies
