DD (4) goes to a swimming lesson with paid helper taking her there and meeting me after 40 minutes to take over. I pay for this.
It’s because my disabled DC has a session near that time and I can’t be in two places at once.
Anyway, my DD doesn’t use functional language and struggled quite a bit with communication. But she is a gestalt language processor and sings a lot of things because she likes the feel of it or it sounds interesting
She keeps singing ‘We’re Lelli Kelly, the curse shoes. Oh yeah! We’re Lelli Kelly, we are so cute. Oh yeah!’
Her helper keeps on telling her to stop it now when she hears her. I let it go but pulled her up on it when DD was handed over and her helper said to me ‘she really needs to stop singing that’
i said why? She said because it’s awful, so ridiculously silly and makes girls look like sparkly obsessed crazies
I was taken aback and so I said there’s really nothing that bad about it, it’s a little girl’s shoe advert.
She said ‘No. And she keeps repeating the line ‘They are so cool oh yeah, you can’t play with us!’
I said so? That’s in the advert. She just sort of rolled her eyes and left it there
I am going to have to make alternative arrangements but does anyone really have an object to the song? It’s a cute little advert for little girls. It is completely inoffensive.
