a curiosity this....only wanting to watch TV etc if it's changed to a black and white only picture

[zippit]

....dgs is 3.5 and will only watch a TV screen if the colour is turned off...has anyone come across this, if it's in colour he isn't interested and if he does want to watch he turns it to black and white...he has always done this since he was 2

[Twiglett]

he could be the reincarnation of Harold Lloyd?

[zippit]

who is that?

[suzywong]

SNORT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish I had thought of that

[Twiglett]

Harold Lloyd - comedy geeeenius

[zippit]

my laptop won't connect to your link so I am still none the wiser...

[grouchyoscar]

he was brilliant

[gladbag]

My ds went through a phase of this when he was just under 3. I think it was a control thing (his being in control, rather than the TV control iyswim!). He was fascinated at being able to do it. The interest waned after a couple of weeks and we're back to technicolour glory.

[zippit]

I don't think it is a control thing as he has been like this for ages and if it is on for him he chooses black and white and if it is on for everyone he just doesn't watch he does something else.....

Oh, I love Harold Lloyd. Marvellous! Have the theme tune in my head now!

Don't know re dgs, Zippi. Is he perhaps from the 1950s?

[suzywong]

gosh, that was a quick 6th month break HM

[Rip Van Winkle]

My, how your beard has grown, Suzy!

[zippit]

I'm from the 1950's

but I choose colour for things made in colour

though my kids did have black and white tv when they were little

dgs does high fives so I think he must be more recent...though his favourite word seems to be ridiculous so I'm not sure
