I can't stand watching Charlie's face on Sesame Street. What is she looking at? Didn't anyone tell her where the cameras are? Why is she squinting?

Thanks, I just went down a sesame street rabbit hole and learned that Elmo's dad was deployed in the military. The Bush years sure were...a time.

My wife told me that child actors at that age will have an offscreen coach giving them directions, and that's what she's looking at.

It adds up I think. I like Charlie because she has the cutest curls but yeah she's pretty fuckin annoying otherwise but I have a hard time getting angry at anything Sesame Street related.

I guess it does add up, sometimes she randomly makes some bizarre expression so maybe the coach threw out a "look angry" or "look confused as gently caress" gesture

I'm not trying to be mean she's someone's kid but I can't look at the screen when she's talking

Lead out in cuffs posted:

Our 18mo just had a major spoken vocabulary explosion, going from maybe six words to over 30 in a week. Two of his new words are "peas" (one of his favourite foods) and "peepee".

Cue dinner time where he keeps going "Pea! Pea! Peepee!" and giggling hysterically.

Lol :3:

My son is also eighteen months and is doing the same. "Outside" and "pizza" suddenly appeared today! I mean, if you know what to listen for.
