Bringing up my girls I felt it important to try and keep them away from watching too much junk on tv. You know, movies that would have a bad influence on them. I owned enough Shirley Temple movies to keep them occupied for hours on end and worked hard at finding a balance between television, music, movies, reading and other playtime activities. As a result and without even realizing, I introduced them to Jerry Lewis, Dean Martin, Red Skelton, Carol Burnett and the like.
We own such a collection of Classic movies and musicals on video, DVD and CD that as they started school and began to make friends, some of the other kids thought they were plain strange when they'd be excited about watching an old movie. They normally had no idea what my kids were talking about.
I can remember the girls bringing school friends to the house and then playing some of their favorite music. They'd be singing along as if everyone should know the songs. Sometimes I'd have to tell them that maybe they should put something on their friends could enjoy too. It took a while for them to get it. And yes, they were different.
Today as I was scrolling through Facebook, I noticed Karina had a post that said "I love this video". This is what she posted. If you haven't already seen it, enjoy!

Ask Diane about Dean Martin...she was practically a stalker..lol Have you ever watched the Victor Borge specials on PBS...classic!
Yeah, Raquel was like that too, but eventually they kinda gravitate toward kids who either know what the heck they're talking about or..ones that will put up with it or think it's entertaining. At least she herself and that's a good thing ~
