This weekend, as we enjoyed our Saturday morning laze-around in our jammies and eat breakfast event (which doesn't happen nearly as often as I'd like), we realized that Mr. Moo can read without pictures. And a lot faster than we thought, too. As we were surfing the TV menu, trying to find something that would not rot the kids' brains but also not make us want to pull out every last strand of hair, we paused for a moment to look at the upcoming selections on Noggin.
"Max and Ruby!" shouted Mr. Moo. "It's coming up next--I love that show. Max and Ruby, please."
Mr. D and I looked at each other in disbelief. We then pulled up the menu again and asked him to identify a few other shows. If the words were four letters or less--he could figure it out pretty easily.
That's it--our days of surfing the menu and declaring, "Gee, none of your shows are on right now," are over. Is it terrible that I'm not sure whether to celebrate the budding reader or mourn the loss of TV autonomy?

My sympathies.
The Boy loves Max & Ruby too. I loathe it more than words can say so I'm glad he can't read the channel guide. Yet.
I have to admit, I really can't stand the show, either. Glad to hear I'm not the only one.
