The hidden EEnE...

[senoritafish]

Ok, I happened to be watching Ed, Edd & Eddy with Angus on the CN website; the "Eenie, Meenie, Minie, Ed" episode in particular. Eddy manages to convince Ed (never the brightest bulb) that Double D is actually an alien ("C'mon, didja ever know any normal person who was that smart?"). After Ed gives him funny looks in the garage, Double D flees

me and cartoon network are not the biggest buddies. i think most of their content is for adults. i mean, if i had the time to watch this stuff on my own, i would be ecstatic.... but Milo is always here with me. you should see how many times i get caught watching you tube or myspace videos. how did i explain watching Jerry Springer clips? yeah. i couldnt.

that mess on the wall is hilarious though.

the parenting by sticky note. when you really get to looking at it, that does happen. both parents working, yet still wanting to offer some guidance when they can.
it happens. this week, i am on vacation yet i have three kids at my house except for one. i am watching my neice and nephew because their parents would have no choice but to leave them at home this week. they are 5 and 9. it shouldn't be this hard to care for your kids! since i am a single parent and would have had this week off anyway to care for Milo because of no real or reliable backup system, i decided to offer my services. i am glad i did. 9 hours at home alone.
this is what the no child left behind program should have been used to support. care for children of working parents.

i need satellite :)

You're exactly right. That's the whole reason John decided to be a SAHD. All of his paycheck was going to daycare of one(!) child. We probably wouldn't have been able to do that if we we're living with my father.

Edd is supposed to be about 13, so I suppose old enough to be home by himself, but from the amount and content of notes (they show up in several episodes), it's obvious they've been in use for quite a while.

How funny!

Parenting via sticky note!

There's an entire episode where Eddy and Ed discover the sticky notes for the first time (most of them are chores and reminders), and Eddy, of course, has to deviously change them all to things that make no sense - "Please wash the phone - Father" and "Please insert broom lint into your bellybutton - Love, Mother." Poor Edd is so literal he runs around doing them all while anguished and confused as to why his folks are making him do such senseless things.

Makes you wonder why he stays friends with them, Eddy at least.
