Prince Abooboo
Yaya’s new favorite boob tube time is “moobies”; preferably, anything with “scawy monsters”. It’s genetic; her father was practically weaned on American slasher films. Don’t get the wrong idea. To her, scary is ”Doobie Doo” or any the villian from any Disney animated film. This week we’re working on wearing out our “Aladdin” collector’s edition. Finally something I can stand to watch 30 b’zillion times (sorry, Barney!)
It is a little known fact I had a crush on Aladdin in the third grade. Yes, I had a crush on a cartoon character! Kindly collect yourself from the floor and read on…
The first time she watched, as her hero entered the screen she squealed “DADDY!”. If you ever watch Aladdin in our home you’ll hear Yaya cheer on Aladdin with “Go go go, Daddy!” or “Oh ma Daddy got de munkey?” or “Oh! Where ma Daddy?”.
