"I'm going on Holiday!" the children say happily.
"No I'm going on Holiday!" as the tone startes to become more belligerent and the suitcase on wheels begins to be fought over.
No I'm going on Holiday!" as tears start to flow and voices become harsh and unsreasonable. Until finally somehow... "Yayy! We're going on Holiday."
But why are my children fighting using British Expressions? I think Noah's old (as in previous and before, not age) speech therapist Clionaugh would be proud. It is of course on of the side effects of being addicted to Peppa Pig.
Above is just one episode but we usually watch compilations of them. It has come to the point where I am always singing the various theme songs. The tongue in cheek quick humor is just hilarious. But they never stop and pause at a joke the way American comedy would, and in fact the jokes are like a separate thing for adults that the kids won't get and it is ultimately a kids show. Not that any of the jokes are "adult" in nature. It's just that to children, a lot of the way the world works is taken for granted, but to an adult that representation of it is hilarious.
