i was having a conversation with another mom this morning, and she started to tell me how max, of max & ruby, was dressed as a vampire for halloween and just how inappropriate that was.  i laughed and asked why it was inappropriate.

she proceeded to tell me that she didn't want to go to the trouble of explaining to her kid that vampires are mythical creatures that suck your blood so she just told him that they are "pretend." 

i think diego was also a vampire today, the wonderpets saved a bat, and the count has been sesame street for a million years.  also, this mom loves to read twilight.

discuss.

    I think there are far more inappropriate things on kid's cartoons than vampires!  However, I suppose each mom needs to decide what she deems appropriate or not for her kid.

    I would have laughed oo.

    I did find the vampire version of Max a little creepy. Especially his bloody fangs I'm not sure I think it's inappropriate, I'm just scared of vampires Embarrassed

    DD has a stomach virus today, so we haven't left the couch.  We saw that Max & Ruby and I couldn't figure out why Ruby was making such a big deal about Max being a vampire.  You want to talk inappropriate?  How about the fact that Max and Ruby are always alone.  Who watches those kids?

    I don't get the inappropriateness of it at all.  It's a cartoon.  It sounds like she is too lazy to explain it to her kid right now.  I don't think explaining in depth what a vampire is is all the necessary anyway.  It's a common Halloween character.

    sounds like she's gotten a little too deep into her twilight books.

    She's a weirdo.  Bunnies also don't talk...

    I saw that Max and Ruby yesterday.  It was less annoying than most of them.

    I forget what the show is called... Super Readers?  Super Why?  I don't know.  It's on PBS.  Anyway... there was a vampire on there this morning and I was only concerned that they were going to spell it.  They had already spelled pumpkin and it took for-freaking-ever ("where's the p?  *SUPER LONG PAUSE* there it is!  P!"), and I already know how to spell vampire and I'm pretty sure Seth's not just going to pick it up one morning at 17 months.

    But, yeah.  Not concerned about the actual vampire.

    This was the only episode I've seen and it will be the last.  Fortunately dd wasn't really into it.

    I think that watching Max and Ruby is inappropriate because those rabbits are so annoying.   MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAX!  ;)

    And I agree with you, BW...we all watched The Count on Sesame Street when we were kids!

    I loooved the count on Sesame Street. I don't believe my mother ever sat me down to explain why he had sharp teeth and why he was inappropriate. Because my mom didn't have a stick up her ass.

    Jo is currently watching the Berenstain bears. Should I be discussing grizzly bear attacks with her?
