The children have been watching the Discovery Kids channel on TV this week- and it is generally quite educational. There are lots of endurance-type team games, a kids' version of Changing Rooms (which they love!), and sporty adventures (rafting, kayaking, surfing etc). They have been mesmerised by a surfer who tells of when her arm was bitten off by a shark, and suggests ways we should fight off an attack....
One young lad (about 12 yrs old) tells us the only reason he survived is because he watched a programme and knew to bash the shark in the gills! 4000 stitches later (no, that is not a misprint!) he was interviewed on a slot called 'scar tales'. He was amazingly smiley....
The downside to the Discovery channel (aside from nightmares!) is their extremely enthusiastic adverts- which are very adult (by that I mean grown-up, as opposed to x-rated!). And our kids have been totally sucked in!
I sat down with them last night and they were encouraging me to phone in for the 'once in a lifetime' offer of a one-touch can opener. (money back if it doesn't change your life!) They had obviously seen the advert before, as Emily delightedly explained that if I bought it today I would get a free 'good gripper' for my jars!!
