Bone to pick with Dis

...not to be confused with Wu Di, the famous Chinese cinematographer.

I always confuse the famous woodpecker with the famous Chinese cinematographer.

You know....with the both being in the arts and all.

Did Woody have one of these?

I don't have kids... so I'll just bump this thread for useful information in the future.

Well, here's how to handle it, "Son, if you're too young to google it yourself, you don't need to know."

Seriously, aren't there bigger issues to deal with? Just because the show is centered on Disney doesn't mean it needs limit itself to a super "G" rating. If you have listened, the podcast crew, somewhat regretfully at times, goes to great lengths to self-sensor in a variety of ways. I commend them on being extremely careful not to offend, and if you haven't noticed--listen harder. A sex change? Come on. Five seconds of basic cable will top that.

Sheesh.

I could for the life of me figure out what Teresa could have said about a car and the first Beach Boys song that came to mind was Good Vibrations.

This is FANTASTIC. I collect toys.... I wonder how hard it is to find one of these.

Absolutely amazing... and you gotta wonder what the heck they were smoking in their pipes back then.

"Were loading up our woody
With our boards inside
And headin out singing our song"

I think the podcast is perfect the way it is. Kids will confront situations they want answers to whether the first time they hear about a sex change is on the podcast, dancing with the stars or in a passerby's conversation. Inevitably they will ask.

...and to think I snickered when Pete referred to you as a geek on the podcast.

Mike is not a geek. Mike is a TWiT!

Mike is not a geek. Mike is a TWiT!

Wait, should I know Mike from listening to TWiT (This Week in Tech)? Or is this a reference to something else?

TWiT is indeed Leo Laporte's "This Week in Tech" podcast network.

To my knowledge, Mike has never appeared on TWiT, but I know he is a TWiT fan.

Ah...I know TWiT (been following Leo for many years)...when you said he was a TWiT, I thought he'd been on the show

 

[k5jm]

I have been on TWiTT & TWiP

This Week in Texas Two-Step & This Week in Polka

Sorry boys, but the word you're both looking for is

FREAK

...because Pete said so.

I also really appreciate the parenting advice from the rest of you. I dont know what I would do without your help!

It strikes me that the concept of self-serving sarcasm would be a much more difficult concept to explain to your children than an adult sex change.

Mike is mentioned again on this weeks show.

My son is 4. He knows that daddy's put babies in mommy's tummies, the general area those babies come out of after nine or so months of growing, and that belly buttons are where babies used to be attached inside of mommy's before the babies came out and could breathe air. He's also aware that not all kids are raised by the mommy's who give birth to them (I'm adopted), and that sometimes there is only one mommy, or two, or even no mommy at all and just one or two daddy's. (And has met families of all of the above combos without a single comment.) He also knows that some boys marry girls, some boys marry boys and some girls marry girls.

And he knows all of the above while also passionately believing in Santa, the Tooth Fairy (who has yet to visit us, much to his chagrin) and the fact that when Cast Members on a recent Disney World visit greeted him by name it was because Mickey had told them he was coming, not because his name was written on his shirt. (And, yes, I know lots of people think it's unsafe to let children wear name shirts, but I'm cool with it. Mostly because I assume that anyone in a 20-mile radius of us at a theme park already knows my son's name because I've likely been telling him, "Cooper come here. Cooper stop that. Cooper hold still. Cooper don't run. Cooper slow down," etc. for eight straight hours.)

In fact, my very much rough and tumble, all-boy little man told me just last week. "Mommy, you know how some boys marry boy instead of girls? Well, I decided I want to marry a boy when I grow up because I don't like girl toys. Or pink. Or playing with dolls."

I told him that was fine with me, but most boys who marry boys actually love girl's toys when they're little, and tend to be pretty fine with pink, too.

His response? <big sigh> "OK, I GUESS I'll marry a girl." Then he paused and crossed his arms before adding with finality: "But I'm not playing with anything pink. Ever."
