To be a bit shocked at mummy pig (lighthearted)

Looking after DGD yesterday and watching Peppa Pig.

Peppa, being bossy and telling George what he shouldn't do to the computer pressed all the keys and made the computer go a bit funny. Immediately, mummy pig called to daddy pig asking him if he could come and mend the computer for her, which he did by turning it off and on.

What the hell. Why does a competent woman like mummy pig need daddy pig to rescue her from computer hell, especially given that daddy pig generally comes across as a bit of a buffoon.

Although, this is lighthearted, I must admit I was rather shocked to see this in a modern children's television programme. Surely Peppa pig wasn't made that long ago.

But at least Daddy Pig is a bit funny - Mummy Pig is borderline abusive with her constant putdowns.

Chloe is clearly Ch so it works with cousin - but that still doesn't explain Alexander. Christopher would have been much better over invested

We joke that Daddy Pig has a permanent cold, that's just how he sounds to us.

BTW I loved it when they switched the F1 off when Daddy Pig was watching it, OH just said "Did they just switch F1 off while Daddy Pig was watching?" Every time I see that episode I just chuckle!

Nanny Plum and the WOE definitely have a thing going on.

The aliens are hilarious when they ask to eat people. I think it's my favourite episode.

Octonauts are much adored in our house.
