Oh, Lulu and Moxley’s Mom, you so get me! I frickin’ hate that song, though it is pretty cute to see my husband and 3-year-old prancing around the house, calling out, “Swiper no swiping!”

Now that my oldest is 6 and into the superheroes and all other things that come with action figures, I’m not sure whether I like Dora more or less. My younger two are still hypnotized by her, which means that not only do I have to listen to “Repeat after me…” and “Where are we going?” so many thousands of times in a row, but I also have to listen to “Why do we have to watch this?” at the same time.

I can see how kids end up with so much technology in their rooms. It’s tempting to set up and entire home theater in there so they can watch their crap without me!

This is exactly how I feel about the wonder pets.

Wow, I must not be paying attn b/c I haven’t had any of those issues with Dora and now I realize why….I’m not paying attention. I’m sorry but when you have ADD like I do, it’s hard to focus long on this stuff and since no one has ever had their kid sent to prison from watching Dora, I guess I figured it was okay.

love it! so true. My daughter gave up Dora around 3 but she still asks for it every once in a while. We are on a Backyardigans kick right now…which is AWESOME, and I’m not being sarcastic, I love them!

You’ll be glad to know that just today my 4 1/2 year old gave one of her Dora dolls a proper haircut.

And that “swiper no swiping” crap haunts me.

That was well written, thanks! Note to Dor’as parents. She needs her hearing checked. She shouts everything! Maybe they could do it while they are out shopping for a new shirt.

1. Have a lovely time doing whatever you’re doing Wendi!

2. Nothing I enjoy more than a good recap!

3. Every mother in the world thanks you for this letter. I hope this woman gives you some good solid answers, damn it. And where is this danger laden place this little girl lives, anyway? The Gooey Geyser? The City of Lost Toys? Pretty surreal if you ask me.

Hey Biotch! Good to see you here.
Although I loved every word and can appreciate your letter…I don’t let my kid watch this show because of the Da-da-da-da-Dora song alone. Drives me insane. However, I still appreciated your very funny post and am happy to see you here for Wendi!

Note to Wendi’s readers: would it hurt you to bookmark luluandmoxley.blogspot.com? I don’t think so. Just do it, you’ll thank me. I don’t get paid for this work people, I do it out of the goodness of my little black heart so just stop yammering and bookmark! The end.

Despite my efforts to protect my (just turned) 2 year old from the Dora industry in all her lovely shrillness (WHY does it have to be SO shill) Thanks to my mother and inlaws she has discovered it anyway. So I’m reading this post and laughing and she comes up behind me and sees the little Dora pic and says “Dowa an’ Boots an’ SWIPER Mommy!!! you LIKE dem!”

Next could you write a letter to the creators of Max and Ruby and see if they can tell us where the mommy and daddy bunnies are there?

I wish swiper would swipe Dora, Diego, Map, and Boots and send them off to some remote island never to be heard from again. This would be my same fantasy island where Blue and Steve have been sent in my imagination. And Barney… (I told my kids we didn’t get PBS and couldn’t watch the f-ing purple dinosaur). Mommy has to be somewhat sane or bad things happen.

Dora is to current parents of toddlers what Barney was to me. Despicable, ridiculous, unbearable and sooooooooo frikkin awesome!

You just can’t place a high enough value on something that will keep your child off the dining room chandelier for half an hour.

You took the words right out of my mouth, in so many ways. Seriously…the one with the book taking the cookie to the babies. What?! Where as the freaking apple or something with protein in, you know? A little bit of worm or something? Cookie is pure sugar and will make them really fat bugs one day who can’t fly. Cookies in moderation for the baby bugs, one thing,but cookies as the main meal? What message does that send?!

And if I have to say “Swiping no swiping!” with my toddler one more time I will scream bloody murder. So please, kick the crap out of him for us. I’d appreciate that. I’d also appreciate if Diego’s parents would travel with him instead of sending his preteen cousin with him to far away places like the Frozen Tundra. That’s just not cool. What are they doing while he’s risking his life? Sitting back in the rain forest sipping martinis? Dang.

I have a lot of issues…no?

This letter is awesome. And I’m so glad I’m not the only one who wonders why on earth Mommy Bugabug’s babies are subsisting entirely on chocolate chip cookies.

Ha ha ha: “I don’t want Boots cut out of any licensing royalties if a banana agreement comes to fruition” Banana, fruition. funny.

Seriously, I never let my kid watch Dora because she annoys me so, and let’s face it, it IS all about me. But a distant relative gave her a series of Dora books for her second birthday and immediately my daughter pointed out Dora and Boots. How the heck did she know who they were?? It must be some secret plot and additives in the milk or something.
