Busted
Every night, before bed, I tell Junior she can watch one last TeeVee show. And it’s usually Little Bear, which I hate. I mean really hate. Each show is not really a story but rather a random series of events strung together with no discernible point. But I digress. Any way, the one last show usually gives her enough time to calm down from the latest activities and get ready for bed. The other night, she was watching her last show and I noticed she was laying on the floor and acting very tired. It was getting late, compared to her usual bed time, so I decided that since she was tired and wasn’t particularly paying attention to the show that I’d occasionally hit the fast forward 30 seconds button on the DVR. I do that and in a few minutes the closing credits come on and I say Show’s over. Time for bed. She looks at me and says You did that! Uh oh.
I’d done this a hundred times before and she never noticed.

So it teaches them about life?

Buy some Loony Tunes DVDs. Even adults enjoy Bugs Bunny!

The trick to getting a kid to sleep is to be boring. They’ll go sleepless for a week if there’s anything remotely attention-getting happening. Although the daughter likes
reading booksbeing read to before bedtime she still tries to negotiate the number of books. Me: “One”. She: “Five”. Settlement: Three. As for TV, she likes “Lucky Luke” videos. I like them, too, although they’re hard to find. And, yeah, Little Bear is a sissy.October 4th, 2007 at 2:06 pm

So what, it’s like listening to the boss?

So what you’re saying is that federal legislation little bear is like a rutabaga pie and trip down to the supermarket mud puddle zoom, right?

Perhaps Uncle got a little happy with the skip forward button.
You can make them think 20 minutes was 30… but they catch on when you make a 30 minute show last only 10 minutes.
