Fiery Doom Girl: "Daddy, can I watch TV?  I want Dora."

check satellite menu - no Dora on kids' list of channels. Not now, not in the next hour.  K.  Handy Mannny looks good.

FDG: *pokepoke* "Daddy, Mickey Mouse is one.  I don't want Mickey Mouse.  I want Dora."
Me: "Sorry, punkin pie, there's no Dora."
FDG: Yes, there is!" *sleevetug*

okay, no mouse

Invest in Tivo, my friend. Store up all those Doras (or in my case, SMALLVILLEs) and they have no complaints. Though boy now wants *gulp* the Suite Life of Zach and Cody. Save me.

We *were* grateful. Ahoy and etc. from piracy in SouthCity.
