Cartoons

I have the Jane & The Dragon theme song stuck in my head.

What? You don't? Oh. Go here and click the video link to hear it.

Ahhhh. Qubo.... you and your evil song lyrics.

How do you handle cartoons at your house? We follow a classic cartoon methodology that gives away my 70's upbringing.... Saturday mornings are for cartoons. And eating breakfast in the living room. I like waffles. We get two channels so the kids have a choice of the moral-n-nonviolent Qubo offerings or the more violent stuff on Channel 10. They tend to alternate. And by 11:00 they have to be dressed, have the living room tidy (including breakfast dishes in the sink & tv trays wiped off), and be ready to go outside.

Friday nights are movie night at our house. It was the only way we could stop the "let's watch something" begging every night of the week. Now I just ask, "Huh, is it Friday?" and they have to leave me alone. Although we are watching any and every Christmas cartoon and special during the holidays.... I'm not heartless.

Ah... the eternal Homestead quest to cut down on tv viewing.... sigh.

Jane and the Dragon

There once was a lady in waiting

Let's call her Jane.

That girl wasn't ordinary-

No way for me a lady stuck in waiting

I'd rather battle fire-breathing dragons

I knew I could prove that a girl could be a Knight

Though my friends all laughed at me

but...

I wouldn't be discouraged and trained in secret

Then a dragon pinched the Royal Prince

and everyone was freaking

So I went alone to the dragon's home

to slay the dragon

Hey now, hey now now

Jane and the Dragon are best friends now

Dragon's sweet, he let me save the young Prince

Then the King made me a Knight apprentice

Hey now hey now now...

With Dragon's help I'll be a Knight someday
