Again! Again!

I theorize special needs parents have more theories about kids shows, ideas for spoofs no one else would understand, and time to think about the enormous holes in premises or plots because our kids fixate on a few shows or movies for a longer period of time. Maybe this is just my kid, but we have been watching "Wonder Pets", "Cars", and "Oswald" FOREVER.


I will admit a crazy amount of joy in discovering "Robot Chicken" took the time to visit with Linny, Tuck and Ming Ming.  It is off color, it makes me laugh. You can choose for yourself if you click on it.  If over years you have seen every episode of "Wonder Pets" at least twice and some favorites more than 50 times that makes it funnier, just sayin'.

How are the characters in "Cars" born? Who taught McQueen to race? How old is he? How did he not know anyone until Radiator Springs? Does he have parents? Did he grow up rich and sheltered? Do they live forever? Can a mechanic / doctor replace every part? If so, what gives each vehicle identity or soul? Is it a post apocalyptical world where the people created the vehicles and then the vehicles took over and killed all the people off?

 Is Daisy a cannibal when she eats a salad? Why does Flippy live in the water, but Oswald lives in the air? What makes Weenie a pet? How did they decide how many roller skates Oswald would need? Why doesn't Johnny melt? Is he selling his offspring?  Peppa has similar, though less surreal, questions. How do they have pets? What decides if you see Dr. Hamster (a vet) or Dr. Brown Bear (a doctor)?

There was a period where she loved "Penguins" and currently she can not get enough of "Home". I think she would watch "Home" multiple times every day if we would let her. I love this "Home" trend as she acts out many parts of this movie, including lots of hugs, and has a line up toys she needs, including a hello kitty heart that helps her find "my mom" when they use the map. I am excited when she is willing to give something new a chance, as she is usually resistant. The excitement fades quickly as we watch the same thing over and over and over.

I  found an About Me project from three years ago and her favorites were... drum roll please... "Wonder Pets", "Cars", and "Oswald".  

What are favorites in your house? Any theories you have been searching for a venue to explore? Any answers to the questions above?
