For some bizarre reason, The Ritilin Brothers (a.k.a. Thing 1 and Thing 2) saw an advert for Snow White on the telly and asked for it.
Aside from being flabbergasted that they could actually talk, this was the first time they'd ever ASKED for something (we totally dodged both the Teletubbies and the Barney bullet - although we have vids, there is NO paraphenelia in the house).
So of course, the bloody thing only comes on DVD, at least where we shop, so I nicked one for them when I was in the store last week.
OMG! They watch this thing 3 - 5 times a day! They get up in the morning, dismantle their cribs, come into our room, and ask for "Snow". We pop it in, they sit mesmerized - and these are the same children that can't manage to sit still and eat!
I'm told several times during the day they watch it over, and the last thing they do before bed is watch it. They have even turned off one of the 2,000 truck vids they are so fond of. Punishment is no Snow, and it works! We're so tickled I bought them their own DVD player...I think we're going to try Hercules and the Jungle Book next.
I don't know what old Walt did, but I'm ready to don a cold suit, strut right into that freezer and give his icicle prone body a big wet kiss!
