Kids, eh?

The Cherub hasn't really got the hang of jokes yet. Especially not 'Knock, knock' ones, which she keeps making up... Here's an example from last night:

Cherub: Knock, knock!
Other family member (sighing): Who's there?
Cherub: The pizza man!
Other family member (giving in to the inevitable): The pizza man who?
Cherub: The pizza man who knows what's on your list!
[beat, as everyone looks around at each other trying to work out what on EARTH she's thinking]
Miss M: Well she is factually correct...

Also, the girls spent a good long time watching Young Dracula on CBBC yesterday (new TV series) and this morning (there was a marathon thing). And despite everything, I must give Joss credit where credit's due: Slayers are girls, these days. It's deeply embedded in our culture now, and for that I will always be grateful.

Oh bless, Miss M's conclusion just makes me giggle.

Also I watched Young Dracula when it first came out. Good grief I feel old.

She's... very erudite! :)

And Young Dracula is a TV series. I think it's new. New-ish, at any rate. Hang on, let me check. Yes this is it.

Yep, on BBC, it came out ages ago, right? (I'm only 20 by the by) Unless it's a remake of the old show I remember when Vlad was just ickle.

I have wiki'd and this is what happened:

Young Dracula is a British children's fantasy television series airing on CBBC, loosely based on Young Dracula AND Young Monsters, a children's book by Michael Lawrence. Directed by Joss Agnew, the first series was broadcast in 2006, and the second series, which started in late 2007, concluded in early 2008. A third series was commissioned three years later and began airing on 31 October 2011.

So I was 15. Still, feels like I was a lot younger. XD
