flirtyBen watches TV. He can't help it. It's a fact of life. People watch TV and last time I checked, babies were people too.
Well one day last week I thought "I should let him watch something more acceptable than the morning news and E!'s True Hollywood Story." so I was thinking "Baby Einstein" is a great baby thing. But there was no way I was going to spend $15 on one stupid 29 minute DVD. So what does one do? Go to Ebay, but of course! We found these great bootleg Baby Einstein 21-DVD sets! We purchased a set for $41 plus $12.99 for shipping and handling. Total price each : $2.57.
All the DVDs seem to work, but I thought one DVD was fishy. I put it in and the puppets were speaking in French. So I stopped it and tried to adjust all the DVD settings. Nothing worked. So I kept listening and then the puppets were talking in Japanese. Then Russian. Then Italian. It wasn't until we made it through the whole DVD that we realized that the puppets were trying to teach Ben different languages. Wonderful. So at least I learned that our DVD player isn't possessed. And I have a new goal and that is to teach Ben to count in Japanese before English.
