Dear teletubbies

I love you. I want to kiss your sweet bellies.

After all these years, or two, I still remember your names.
Po is red with a circle thing
LaLa is yellow with a curly thing
Dipsy is green with a straight thing
Tinky winky is purple with a triangle thing (yes I think you are gay)

And I did this all at a doc office days after seeing one episode


With child number one, I wished evil rashes upon all those who wore the costumes.

I used your cult like toddler following to my advantage with my second child. Your theme song that was burned into my brain came in handy later. It came to mind when I soothed a wiggly child thru another kidney ultrasound. It worked.

5 years later when number 3 came along, I watched a 5 and 7 year old protest that they were too old to watch you, yet they couldn't turn away. We recorded your episodes by then and turned them into a dvd. It was a baby tranquilizer when I had doctor appt. I enjoy watching you belly tv from all over the world. It was like traveling from my couch. A reminder that I'm not the only mom like me.

By this time I memorized your names and even borrowed a LaLa (the red one) costume to dress her in for halloween. The photo is on my wall. And we watched on, eager for fresh episodes.

Slowly those episodes were recorded over when number 3 outgrew you and as number 4 came along. I missed a lot of firsts with him. Because the kids only watched recorded tv, he never saw them.

So last week something triggered the need to induct my son. I found that old dvd. I watched my 4th, and last, giggle and wave and talk to the sun. I saw him recognize the green hill as a house and ask for it to be opened.

I watched him point to bunnies. I saw him giggle and move while you danced a silly dance. You would love his silly elbow dance.
And I am happy to know I was here for this first that really was important to me. I'm more in love with you today than ever before.

Once again, I'm sorry I teased you and wished horrible things upon you!
Only Love and awe(i promise),
Rachel

Dear Teletubbies,

today is my first day watching you.
I am appalled, a bit disturbed, and amazed at what your show contains.

To start, there is a sun, made of a baby head.
That's OK , I guess....but odd that it blankly stares in no particular direction, even in the short time you see it.
This followed by some children feeding chickens, introducing a vacuum that talks in sucking sounds, and a complication over spilling 'tubby pudding' on one character's seat. How was this issue resolved? By first shoving characters out of their sit, in order to sit in theirs, and then singing a song, which uniquely had the lyrics 'No where to sit' repeated 4 times. Creative. Little did you guys know, that this was the cue for the vacuum to come clean the seat. Then the problem of being in the wrong seats wrapped up the show. How much the children learn!

Let's not even talk about the voices. Really? What ARE you saying? Whoever made your voices teletubbies, should be hurt. Hurt in a way most people shouldn't be. Slowly, with sharp pointy things, until there are tears.

No bitterness or anger here. Just amazed at the franchise....at the content of it....

Thoroughly confused and feeling more stupid due to the time lost in watching,
-Julie

Dear garlic jims pizza guy

You gave me a pizza for free, after I ordered 4 large pizzas.
I told you I wanted to marry you.
I guess my hand is cheap.

When I went to pick them up, you liked my road-cone orange socks.
I Love you,
Love, rachel

Dear heather

Dear heather, jen and cindy's sil
I love you and your hands. You helped me finished the stitches and tie all the ties of Kates comfort blanket. You are amazing to stay bust with me during the big board game. Thanks for helping me, in very close circumstances, get this quilt tied in one day. I feel much closer to you now, even after we scooted our chairs away from each other.
I like you so much, love,rachel

Dear weighted belt

Dear weighted belt,

Where have you been all my life? Or atleast, where have you been since I started my life at pool therapy? You gig my just right around the middle, without reminded me of the 30 extra pounds I carry around. Your sweet pockets with adjustable weights, your got colors that blend well with my swimsuit,

I especially go crazy for your quick buckle . Oh how I love things that are fast.

Oh belt, don't throw this letter away before I tell your why I really love you. You make It possible for me to walk 2 mph on the underwater treadmill! I can walk not run because of the extra weight. I can move quickly without the fear of splashing water out of the pool. When I get in the pool, my painful areas float away. I don't have want added pressure to my painful areas, and you do just that! Thank you for making my pool goals and dreams come alive!

Love, your number one fan,
rachel
