Caillou is French for Eff You.

Seeing my girls grow up is amazing. There is really nothing that compares to being a mom. They learn new things everyday, such as spelling. I can't spell anything in front of Cassidy anymore. I was talking on the phone a few days back and said someone was "d-y-i-n-g", Cassidy looks at me and says "who is dying momma?"...fail. Zoey is talking more and more and still the funniest person I have ever met. I just absolutely love everything about them growing up...wait, scratch that...almost everything.


This guy. I mean seriously PBS. When can we get rid of this guy. First of the kid has been bald and ruining parent's lives since 1997. That is a whole lotta years of annoying the crap out of everyone over the age of 6. When I allowed Cassidy to first watched Caillou (almost 3 years ago now) I instantly knew I made a horrible, horrible life-altering mistake. I had to choose between Sesame (which we had seen every episode possible at least 8 times) and this seemingly harmless little boy who I had never encountered before. Silly, silly me. I pressed play, and this song came on... "I'm just a kid who's four, each day I grow some more! I like exploring, I'm Caillou" (you're welcome). Instantly my brain started to bleed. WHAT THE EFF IS THAT NOISE? It had to get better, right? Wrong. This "child" is the whiniest, brattiest, baldest punk ever. Seriously, he teaches kids how to whine and get their way. Besides the horribleness of the show itself, what the hell is up with the white around the picture? Why can't it just be a regular picture? See how it looks all foggy?


God I hate this tv show. I secretly think this was Canada's way of getting back at us. Eff you USA take this! Also, ready to have your mind blown. Did you know that the voice of Caillou is a...woman. YES. a woman. Or a girl, I googled it and there have been about 4 or 5 different actresses doing the voice of Caillou. You may not see this as a very important fact, but I do. 

So in conclusion, I love everything about watching my girls grow up. Except for this television show. Can't they bring back the good ole shows like Eureka's Castle, Gullah- Gullah Island or the one with the tree house...

I am thinking I will tell Cassidy that Caillou is no longer available on demand. Sure it is a lie, but hey, parents lie all the time, right?
