I know a grown woman should have better things to spend her time thinking about than a children's programme about an overweight family with long noses but frankly I watched it with ds today and it really irritated me.
Why does the uptight, prissy family next door have to be a 'one child' family with the parents from hell? They could just as easily be a family of two and be as obnoxious but I suppose the play is on the word 'large' which refers to their size as elephants and also the fact that they have 4 children. The fun-loving relaxed nature of their 'large' family has to contrasted with the prim and uptight 'small' family next door.
The child in the small family (Sebastian I think he is called) spends his life with his (also rather long) nose pressed up against the window of the 'oh so jolly and laid back large family next door' and his parents cosset and pamper him ridiculously.
I know it is only a story but it realy annoyed me I just had to get that moan off my chest
Thank you
