Unexpectedly funny

[Moos]

Our current breakfast listening is a Winnie the Pooh CD, which to my surprise I'm finding slyly funny, much more so than I remembered and not the less so for the gentleness of the humour. As you probably all know, Pooh discovers a bees' nest and borrows a balloon from Christopher Robin in order to float up to the treetop and pinch the honey. The bit when he sings a cloud song in order to convince the bees that he is a small black cloud and not a bear just makes me giggle every time.

In the end he realises that he can't get down and asks Christopher Robin to shoot the balloon so he doesn't have to just let go.

"Did I miss?" enquires Christopher Robin

"You didn't exactly miss" says Pooh with dignity, "but you missed the balloon."

I love Winnie the poooh, and agree it is very funny!!

My baby watches a baby Einstein DVD about world animals, set to a background of classical music. About halfway through, a bloke starts singing about turtles, proper x- factor style and the whole thing is just so out of place and ott that I always end up sniggering like a school boy.

The Jungle Book feature length cartoon is worth a revisit too... must confess enjoying this one as an adult even before I had a Little One!

We have that Baby Einstein and I agree the singing is dreadful and the words just do not fit! Although now having watching it approximately a million times I just find myself singing along in an equally annoying voice without realising it. Which is not good!

I will have to dig out some Pooh CDs - sounds great.

A bear, however hard he tries,

Grows tubby without exercise,

My teddy bear was short & fat,

Which was not to be wondered at.....

.....from my favourite poem from 'When we were very young' it's fab. Can't remember the rest off hand but you've reminded me that I must get the book out and read it to my girls - thank you!
