Wisdom, from me to you, with love. No charge.

The boys watched the video “The Brave Little Toaster to the Rescue” today. They seem to be fed up with all the frolicking and fun, and preferred to spend the day dissolving into tears at the slightest provocation or fighting with each other. So after dinner I opted to sit them in front of a video. Brilliant. It’s like a tranquilizer dart right through the eyeball.
Anyhow, the Brave Little Toaster video begins with a song that goes on and on about “remember that day.”
“Remember, remember that day.”
“Remember, remember, remember that day.”
“Ah-aaaaah, what a day to remember…”
And so on.
Tonight as I sit here in the dark with that song echoing endlessly through my head, I am pondering what I have learned from the Brave Little Toaster.
No matter how brave and good hearted and inexplicably animated your small appliances are, no matter how pluckily they come through to save the day, no matter how heartwarming their devotion to you,
They can not sing. Not well.
Remember that.
I dunno Kira...while I've never actually heard them sing, I know that my kettle can whistle and my microwave hums.

Oh. my. goodness. My girls have been addicted to the Brave Little Toaster movies for the last few weeks! Did you know that there's a third one called Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars? There's an evil hearing aid from the junk drawer (I swear).

My kitchen appliances usually remain mute.

We sat down to watch the first one on cable when we first discovered it's existence and it went on and on and on. We didn't know it was a full feature film. We thought it was just this little cartoon. Who knew you could MAKE a feature film about appliances? Kiddo fell in love with it so we bought it and watched it a few more times. But wow. It did tend to drag on. Kind of like this comment. :)
