the teletubbies in my house

Leslie and I have both been baffled over John David's interest in Teletubbies. Yes, Teletubbies. After watching just part of an episode before Leslie turned the station, he began running around the house saying: "Tuby tuby". "Tuby tuby". "Tuby tuby". It took Leslie a few days to figure out what he was saying. I think it was not until John David noticed a commercial on PBS with the Teletubbies in it before she figured out what he was saying. Since then she has let him watch them a few times and he has become their biggest fan.

That being the case, I decided to sit down with John David this past weekend to see what the hullabaloo was all about. I tell you the Teletubbies are just strange! In short they are little baby creatures that run around with TV's in their bellies and have antennas on their heads.

According to Jerry Falwell Tinky Winky (the purple tubbie) is gay because he carries a red handbag. In the episode I saw Tinky Winky was not sporting the red handbag, but I guess he does at times.

The more I hear from Jerry Springer I mean Falwell the more I think he might be a dingbat. Talk about someone always looking for a conspiracy! I think every 2 year old has gone into their mother's closet and put on the first pair of shoes they find. Does that make them gay? I think Falwell might be off his rocker.
