Of course, I would be equally perturbed were I to find myself in the same boat -- but it does present a funny (and familiar) image. TV placement in our current home is such that the boys don't stand a chance of pulling something like this, but in our previous abode we caught the youngest on multiple occasions sneaking a peak. One time he was given away by a steady snoring and the crown of his head poking around the corner. I love it!

My daughter's been watching Doctow Who since it returned in 2005, when she was 2 and I had trouble getting her to bed Monday nights. She has some odd conceptions of time and space and death, but mostly she's turning out OK. Plus she's learned about Dickens, and Pompeii, and Madame Pompadour, etc. Now at age 7 she finds many episodes more frightening than previously, now that she undertands them better.

When I was little, I used to hide behind the couch to watch Mission Impossible and the Twilight Zone, both forbidden me by my parents. No wonder I had trouble sleeping! Hee.
