A week of illness and singing produce

All 3 of us have been sick this week. We've all had some mutation of a cold that started with T, took up residence in Ry and finally wormed it's way past my immune system yesterday. Poor T was finally feeling pretty good today and I, of course, felt like my head might explode at the tiniest noise. Instead of going to the park or playing outside all day, I flipped on Veggie Tales and dragged myself outside onto one of the patio chairs so T could play.

Veggie Tales, by the way, is high comedy. The people who produce this stuff have a wicked sense of humor. The characters, of course, are all produce with a flair for the dramatic and a love of Gilbert and Sullivan. I have to say that the "Joking Sumo" (sung to the tune of Mikado's "Wandering Minstrel") is one of my favorites. There is a song about a squash jonesing for a cheeseburger with lettuce that I find a bit disturbing. Does this make them cannibals? Anyhow, it's nice to have a kid's show that a.) has a good message, b.) doesn't condescend to kids and c.) doesn't make me want to bang my head against the wall.
