10 Signs a Child Watches Too Much TV

10. Child can identify all of Handy Manny's tools by name, except Filipe.
9. Child sang "Na na na na...Elmo World" when we pulled into the church parking lot today.
8. Child does a frenetic version of the Hot Dog dance on command, now accompanied by a (in hindsight) poorly chosen musical birthday card by his mother. (Doh!)
7. When child is presented with a stuffed Larry the Cucumber (of VeggieTales), child often requests "TB Larry!"
6. Child's mother changes the channel from Sid the Science Kid to Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Child freaks and says, "Sid! No Mickey Mouse. Sid, please Mama?"
5. Child is given a magnetic art easel by child's favorite aunt. Child puts up magnetic letters one by one, after screaming out what letters they are, and jumps up and down saying, "Puzzle!!" (see #4 for clarification)
4. Child begins to ask for Wheel of Fortune ("Wheel of Chichen") after around 5:30 each night.
3. Mother has seriously considered taping Wheel of Fortune to use in behavioral emergencies, such as Sunday night at 7:00 when Wheel does not come on TV.
2. Child thinks ladybugs are called "Oso bugs," thanks to Special Agent Oso's ladybug camera.
And the number one sign that child watches too much TV is:
1. Child's father has the morning Disney Channel lineup memorized from 7:00 a.m. until 9:30 a.m.
