Finally I am seeing signs that Little Miss actually is my child. After years of secretly questioning Wife’s fidelity I am now convinced she is mine. Sure she still has Wife’s looks (thank god), brains (even better), not to mention her temperament, but finally she is showing some signs from her less dominate genealogy.
I came in last night to find her an inch from he TV screen her grotty little paws all over it’s beautiful LCD screen. I resisted the urge to drop kick her across the lounge room and remembered that being a parent involves both good and bad.
So calmly I wandered over to her and asked in my most restrained voice “What the hell do you think you are doing!!!????!!!”
She looked at me, a longing almost melancholy glint in her eye and lilt in her voice, “I loovveeee the Night Garden Daddy, I want to go there and meet Iggle Piggle and Makka Pakka and play with them.”
Apparently she had convinced herself that she could climb into the television and be transported to the magical world contained within.
If only it were true, ahhh the places I would go …………..
Oh, Yeah. A teleporting machine!
When we were kids, my sister and I too wondered about the people in the TV set, and came up with all kinds of conclusions. The most accurate being, they are at the TV station and if we go there now, we will see them acting!
Of course there was no 24 hours broadcasting then. Hahaha…

I used to think the tv operated much like the VCR, that whenever you switched it on, your favourite show would (still) be showing.
I was often somewhat disappointed when I got other shows the next day though…
By the way, you have been tagged!

I must confess I remember thinking that things on the TV were happening as I watched them. Sure I knew they were ‘acting’ and not real - but I thought it was like a play broadcast into the TV and not recorded / edited etc. How I ever thought Batman could cut from the batcave to the governors mansion instantly is beyond me.
Jlow - I’ll do the tag response over the weekend. It may be interesting with both Wife and I being tagged. I wonder if our responses will even be close to the same
Yes that was part of the ploy…Heh heh
But no cheating ok? You cannot compare notes with each other!
