My alphabet box is broken

A few weeks ago, we were driving home from daycare.  The boys were chatting away in the backseat, happy as can be.  I heard them talking about something being broken, and Jackson said he could use his alphabet box to fix it.

(For all you non-Sprout watchers:  There is a show called Super Why.  It is four kids who have a bookclub, and when they have a problem, they "fly" into a book to find the answer.  They all became superheros, with unique powers.  Alphabet pig has alphabet powers, and he builds the alphabet using his alphabet box.)

So, I thought it was cute that Jackson wanted to use his alphabet box to fix something.  However, then I heard him tell Lincoln that his alphabet box was broken.  Oh know, what are we going to do now?  This made me giggle even more (they have such imaginations). 

However, the best part was listening to the two boys in the back seat contemplate what they were going to do.  They had to fix their alphabet box so they could fix the other thing. 

Who do we call when we need help?  Toodles of course!  (Toodles is from Mickey Mouse)  Toodles would come and fix the alphabet box, then they could use the alphabet box to fix the other thing. 

Who can argue with that logic?  I couldn't do anything but flat out laugh out loud.

My kids really don't watch that much TV, but there are definitely characters that have had a tremendous impact on them!  Glad to see that the boys see all the characters as interchangable!
