Unanswerable questions.

We've all been hit by a stomach bug so the TV has been on more than normal this week. As well as leaving me irrational angry at times, kids TV always leaves me asking so many questions. Most of which don't seem to have an answer. Yes. I have googled most of them.

We started the morning with Bing:

  • Why are the children bigger than the adults? 
  • Who is flop? 
  • Why does Pando take his trousers off so often? 

Peppa Pig is always a favourite with B2:

  • Why is Miss Rabbit in charge of the Mummy's fire engine service?
  • If Miss Rabbit has children will she become Mummy Rabbit too or has she lost out because her sister got there first?
  • What is so special about George Pig that he's not called Phillip, Peter, Paul, Percy or some other name beginning with P?
  • Where are Daddy Pigs parents? 
  • What is this good cause everyone is raising money for? A £10 dinosaur balloon, a £1 ride on the helter skelter, it's all raising money for some sort of good cause, but no one ever says what the good cause is!
Postman Pat came next:
  • Why hasn't Postman Pat been fired for being an idiot? Sure he always comes out the other side of it smelling of roses, but he caused the trouble in the first place by being completely incompetent. 
  • Why does he need a Helicopter? 
We're currently on to Paw Patrol:
  • Why do all the adults call for help from a child?
  • Where are Ryder's parents? He's running around Adventure Bay doing all sorts of dangerous things and no one is keeping an eye on him. This seems to be a common thing in children's TV programmes, Sarah and Duck, Ruby and Max, Abney and Teal. Where have all the parents gone? 
  • Why hasn't someone turned Chickaletta into chicken nuggets? Contemplating this one hopefully means I'm starting to feel a little better.

B2 on the other hand is currently watching episodes of Pokemon on her tablet. Again, where are the parents? Apparently he is 10 years, 10 months and 10 days old when he begins his adventures, B1 is still 3 years and 9 months off that age, but I don't imagine that between now and then I'm suddenly going to decide it's ok for her to wander off to distant lands to fight birds and other random creatures.
