I took my 8yr old son to the storage unit today. Had to get a few things out. He wasn't much help. Rather play than help. So I tossed my large Lurky doll at him along with an even larger stuffed horse. So while he was having a ball with the two items I threw a stuffed pink elephant at him. Told him he could keep the elephant. Should have seen him!!
So anyway, I was about ready to leave the unit when he started in on his "lets play a million questions" game. All of which were about Lurky. I told him it's a Rainbow Brite toy from the cartoon. So all the way home all he talked about was the cartoon. About an hour or so before he was suppose to go to bed I popped in "The Beginning of Rainbow Land". Given the fact he's a boy and more interested in Trasformers, I didn't think he'd care for Rainbow Brite. But to stop the questioning, I put the tape in to see how he'd react.
I'm sitting here half expecting him to go a little nuts and tell me it's a "girl's show". Like Power Puffs or Dora the Explorer.
So here we are, side by side, watching this show and he laughed so hard he fell off the bed and hit the floor. He absolutely adores Lurky. And now he wants a Lurky doll so he can sleep with it at night.
Makes me wonder what it is I just started here... LOL...
We've so far watched "Beginning Of Rainbow Land", "Peril In The Pits", "Mighty Monstromurk", and "Star Stealer". Gonna finish up with the other eps in the next couple of days. Then I'll have him watch the two story book tapes, the zoo, and the birthday. He's also starting to get into Alvin and The Chipmunks. His favorite characters are; Simon, Murky, Lurky, Starlite, Brittany, and Red Butler. He says he likes Chris too and Onix. And he wants to be like Stormy when he grows up. So he can "control the weather"...
