What Happened to Maternal Instinct

When I was in high school I always imagined college spring break to be this decadent liquor filled week. Lavish vacations to sunny tropical places. 4 people in a room with two twin sized beds, but the beds didn’t matter because sleep was not permitted. Make outs and bar fights and Jerry springer (yes, I watched a lot of MTV when I was in high school. So What?) But never any black people, but that’s another story.

That’s what I wanted plus black people. I’m now 3 years into my college education and I have yet to see the sunrise off the coast of anything but Delaware, but is cool because its spring break. And I break hard! I relax and get away from the stress and drama of dorm life and overly processed food. I still want a mojito @ beach front hotels.

Sorry for that tangent.

I didn’t get my tropical get away and I’m stuck at home helping my mother nurture little ones and I don’t mind to much. She has some of the coolest little ones you will ever meet. But this is not about them either. Well it is a little.

Its really about television. Children’s Television. We all have our favorite educational children’s TV show. the ones that tuaght us about sharing and colors and number and made us cry and beg for their toys at Christmas time. The kids at my moms daycare are no different and have somehow attached to this character Calliou.



This little bald-head fucker is a brain wash! I promise! The sad part is that its not even trying to brainwash the kids its the parents that the show is trying to brain wash. The little boy plucks my damn nerves. His parent just let his ass run around. He talks back. He’s always damn experimenting. And the parents don’t say shit. They always speak in this calm soft voice as to not upset the child. They try and identify with his emotions. They never reprimand they always bargain. The little fucker is 3. Tell his ass to sit down and stop touching stuff.

Maybe I don’t understand because I don’t have children of my own. But I’m saying, what happened to when parents were parents and children were children? and TV didn’t try to influence how you raised or taught your kid.

I think all parent with small children should boycott this show.

NO CALLIOU!!!!

DON’T WATCH IT.

DON’T YOU DO IT.

STICK TO SESAME STREET AND BARNEY.

YOU CAN NEVER GO WRONG WITH COOKIE MONSTER AND BIG BIRD AND SUNALUFFAGOUS ( I KNOW I SPELLED THAT WRONG!)

having hope for the future and that Calliou gets cancled,

KD
