Those damn BoohBahs

Unfortunately for me, the library had a copy of a dvd about these frightful creatures called the BoohBahs, and I was sick so wasn't paying attention to what we were checking out, just trying to exit the library before my next coughing/gagging sinus nasal drip episode. Meet the BoohBahs.


They are colorful, and sparkly, and rainbow-y, and they dance techno, and they fly around to different places saying, "Boohbah" and encouraging children they meet to jump up and down and say, "Boohbah" with them. It is apparently a UK show for preschoolers, and I just have to wonder about the education quality in the UK now. But seriously, you know it's really a show for afterschool potheads, or old hippies living in a school bus type of potheads. I felt stoned just watching it. I'll be damned if my kid doesn't love it though, which totally figures, since she is hellbent to destroy me.

But no matter how disturbing these Boohbahs, I was interested to see how my kid is observant of details. She had only watched the dvd a couple times and we were "discussing" the BoohBahs when she was taking a bath. I asked her how many BoohBahs there are, and she said 5. I wasn't actually sure what the right answer was, because I hadn't noticed how many there were. Then I asked her what colors they are. She named 5 colors. I asked her if there was a green one. She laughed and said, "no green one" like I had just said the dumbest thing ever. How could I not know there are no green BoohBahs??? After bath I looked at the dvd case and sure enough, there are 5 Boohbahs and none of them are green.
