Our daughter ate her Blue's Clue's mac&cheese out of an Elmo bowl with her Winne the Pooh cutlery set as she sipped milk from a Dora the Explorer sippie cup. Whatever missed her mouth ended up safely in the pouch of her Snoopy bib.
"He took a duck in the face at two hundred and fifty knots." [you really have to read the book to get the reference]

I'm not sure whether to be flattered or alarmed.
Just keep that Michelin man away from me.

Dennis: I think any parent is amused (and a little terrified) of the media soup all our kids swim in. It's either laugh or cower at the towering Elmos and feed-me-now Winnie the Poohs.
Chuck: I don't think Cayce would have survived as a child of the 00s... Even the *diapers* have Elmo on them.
