You fiend!

HA! I like them actually, just not hearing the same story ten times in a row.

*remembers the days of yore when he listened to audio books on tape while drawing with crayons*

I could tell them in the exact tempo and perform the musical bits. None with Pettson and Findus though, we only had books of them.

I'll make up for no top of page Alistair. It's been like, 5 pages since we've seen this pic:





Good morning everyone!!!

It takes a loooong time for kids to stop wanting the same book/movie ten times in a row. And I read Pettson to my sons too before.

Before I met my boyfriend's extended family (his half-sisters' half-siblings and their kids) I'd say my childhood had moments where things were pretty dire.



But, since my dad never called me a "f*cktard" on a regular basis and refrained from selling any medicine I was prescribed and generally had the good sense to make sure I was still with him when he left a store and not, say, trapped in a tire display or standing in a grocery store cooler, I feel pretty lucky. Oh, he also didn't encourage his drunken friends to shoot me with paintball guns at close range.

[MelRedux]

Wow....everyone's stories are making me sad. I had a great childhood, my parents never laid a hand on me. My mother was very against it, since her father used a belt on a regular basis, and was basically a sociopath.



And I'm afraid to ask, but who is Pettson and Findus? I've never heard of them before. I also don't have kids yet, so that may be the reason.

this is always a plus on the parenting side. 

Let's just say i work out my daddy issues with Loghain and leave it at that.  DA as a therapy tool...

Uh, the implications of what you've said ... I don't even know what to say.

It may be a very European thing.

An old man living alone in a farm with a cat (that talks to him at least). And his neighbors thinks that he is CoCo for CoCopuffs.

Wikipedia is my friend.

Must be.  Although based on the picture, it looks a lot more intersting than the crap we get here in America for kids.

Mine was actually mostly awesome, but my mother was only 16 when she had me and the man who raised me wasn't my real father but just an 18 yo kid who fell in love with a woman with a baby, so things were a bit hard for them since they didn't really know WTF about parenting. My younger siblings benefited greatly from their mistakes with me and everything worked out well- we're all super awesome and really close now that we're adults.

I did when I was a kid. You can't grow up in Germany and not know Asterix.

My brother is an aficionado.

Ofc. Asterix is awesome. And "Pettson and Findus" is Swedish. I'm not sure if it's been translated or not, but it may have.

Wow, situations like your parents were in rarely end well.  I like happy endings

My favorite, (one of the ones the movers lost) was Asterix the Legionnaire. 
All those hilarious puns, the screeching bard, Obelix and (what was the dog's name? Dogmatix? or something like that) Druid Getafix  Obelix was my favorite even if he was just a sidekick and Asterix was the hero.

That was my favorite too. I just loved those visual puns with the translator.

ROFL! The druid is Getafix in English? So very appropriate. He's called Miraculix here.

Obelix' cuty little doggy is Idefix here. I loved them both, they were my favourites.

ROFL remember when they stayed in the Inn...was it the Egyptian who wanted a special room? (he thought he was on holiday!) 

[sylvanaerie]

the only one I have left is the one where Obelix beans Getafix over the head with a menhir and the chief is supposed to fight against this really tough half Roman half Gaulish chief without the strength potion. The concoctions he does come up with (and they use a captured Roman soldier to test them on) are freaking hilarious...esp the funny colors!

Asterix was one of those things that I probably would have loved, since I have a minor obsession with comics, but my French teacher ruined it by being the most joyless human being in the world.



She also sucked the charm out of Le Petit Prince and made me resent Nutella for a couple of years.

[MelRedux]

mmmmm......Nutella......

Which is why being a teacher is one of the most important jobs in the world, after being a parent. A good (and bad) teacher can change your life really...
