Webster all the way, although I still have nightmares about the episode where he had the model rocket that caught the house on fire then he found the robot girl in a hidden room in the new house and no one believed him that she was there then the series was cancelled.
This last week my kids had this holiday shopping thing at school where we designate how much they can spend on each member of the family and the teacher helps them do it. It was actually really cool because it lets them get some independence and pride going. I have 2 girls that did this, 5 and 6.
The day they did it, I went to pick them up from school and my 5 year old, who is absolutely the sweetest kid with the kindest heart on the planet, came running with a box screaming "Merry Christmas daddy!". She was SOOOOO excited to show me what she got me she could not wait. Before I got the words "honey don't show me" she dropped it and I hear it smash. The look on her face absolutely tore my heart in two. She got me a coffee cup and it shattered, and the school holiday thing was closed for the day.
Unfortunately that same week my wife's grandma passed away so the next couple days were full of taking care of services and arrangements for that, making the window to hit the holiday store from6-8 after school every day very tough and my daughter was freaking out every day needing to replace my cup. Thank God we made it the last day and now it is wrapped safely under the tree.
It just made me realize that my kids are just so sweet with such good hearts. She was so upset because that meant the world to her. It truly made me appreciate my kids even more than I did. Not only will I have my favorite cup waiting for me, I might even consider not beating them so much now.
Just kidding, I don't beat them often.

Once upon a time at the foot of a great mountain,
there was a town where the people known as Happyfolk lived,
their very existence a mystery to the rest of the world,
obscured as it was by great clouds.
Here they played out their peaceful lives,
innocent of the litany of excess and violence that was growing in the world below.
To live in harmony with the spirit of the mountain called Monkey was enough.
Then one day Strangefolk arrived in the town.
They came in camouflage, hidden behind dark glasses, but no one noticed them: they only saw shadows.
You see, without the Truth of the Eyes, the Happyfolk were blind.
Falling out of aeroplanes and hiding out in holes
Waiting for the sunset to come, people going home
Jump out from behind them and shoot them in the head
Now everybody dancing the dance of the dead,
the dance of the dead,
the dance of the dead
In time, Strangefolk found their way into the higher reaches of the mountain,
and it was there that they found the caves of unimaginable Sincerity and Beauty.
By chance, they stumbled upon the Place Where All Good Souls Come to Rest.
The Strangefolk, they coveted the jewels in these caves above all things,
and soon they began to mine the mountain, its rich seam fueling the chaos of their own world.
Meanwhile, down in the town, the Happyfolk slept restlessly,
their dreams invaded by shadowy figures digging away at their souls.
Every day, people would wake and stare at the mountain.
Why was it bringing darkness into their lives?
And as the Strangefolk mined deeper and deeper into the mountain,
holes began to appear, bringing with them a cold and bitter wind that chilled the very soul of the monkey.
For the first time, the Happyfolk felt fearful for they knew that soon the Monkey would soon stir from its deep sleep.
And then came a sound. Distant first, it grew into castrophany so immense it could be heard far away in space.
There were no screams.
There was no time.
The mountain called Monkey had spoken.
There was only fire.
And then, nothing.
O little town in U.S.A, your time has come to see
There's nothing you believe you want
But where were you when it all came down on me?
Did you call me now?
This generation
Rules the nation
With version
Music happen to be the food of love
Sounds to really make you rub and scrub
Chorus:
I say
Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
It a gonna burn, give me music make me jump and prance
It a go done, give me the music make me rock in the dance
Verse 1:
It was a cool and lovely breezy afternoon
(How does it feel when you've got no food ?)
You could feel it 'cause it was the month of June
(How does it feel when you've got no food ?)
So I left my gate and went out for a walk
(How does it feel when you've got no food ?)
As I pass the dreadlocks' camp I heard them say
(How does it feel when you've got no food ?)
Chorus
Verse 2:
So I stopped to find out what was going on.
(How does it feel when you've got no food ?)
'Cause the spirit of Jah, you know he leads you on
(How does it feel when you've got no food ?)
There was a ring of dreads and a session was there in swing
(How does it feel when you've got no food ?)
You could feel the chill as I seen and heard them say
(How does it feel when you've got no food ?)
Chorus
Verse 3:
'Cause me say listen to the drum, a me say listen to the bass
Give me little music make me wind up me waist
Me say listen to the drum, a me say listen to the bass
Give me little music make me wind up me waist, I say
Chorus
Verse 4:
You play it on the radio, a so me say, we a go hear it on the stereo
A so me know you a go play it on the disco
A so me say we a go hear it on the stereo
Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
It a gonna burn, give me music make me jump and prance
It a go done, give me the music make me rock in the dance
I say east, say west, say north and south (on the left hand side)
This is gonna make us jump and shout (on the left hand side)
