My kids got a whoopy cushion in a show bag at the Canberra Show last weekend. This has constituted endless hours of fun for them. They never tire of the noise it makes.

They don't even hide the damn thing, sit on it themselves and giggle.
Burping of any kind is another sure winner. Anything involving poo.....the baby was dunking hankies in the toilet bowl this morning and walking around with them, much to the amusement of his brothers.
Boys will never stop other kids from doing gross things....they get such a buzz out of it.Any views I may express here are personal and certainly do not in any way reflect the views of my employer. Tis the rising of the moon..

We have a burping contest in one of the stories. Guess what? One of the producers hates it.Originally posted by Alexander's Horse

Jeez these people don't sound like they know a lot about kids - I fear for your project.
For example if the baby is eating snails in the garden I can always rely on my boys - to find more for him to eat! They'll just stand around and egg him on.
Another interesting area is doing dangerous and stupid things. If there's a way to make something dangerous, they will find it. I think every male child was born with a Darwin Award nomination. This morning the baby was trying to drink ironing starch from the spray bottle.
Christ, my life with these little guys.......

Jeez, my character that reminded me of you was more of a bumbling oaf than pure evil......you shouldn't think so badly of yourself.Originally posted by finbar

The Australian Broadcasting Authority polices - strictly - what can and can't be shown in terms of dangerous situations. If there's a whiff of a possibility of a kid in the audience copying the on-screen situation and doing itself an injury - it's out. For that matter, on-screen kids can't be seen to be arguing with or bucking authority figures, and if on-screen kids happen to do something wrong during the course of an episode, they have to be seen to suffer some penalty for it. Presumably this explains why we have so many pre-pubescent psychopaths running around.Another interesting area is doing dangerous and stupid things.

Actually, it's more the good old bumbling bureaucracy. We could never make here some of the stuff they make overseas for kids.Originally posted by Alexander's Horse

Geez...over here its all giant robots beating the crap out of each other, or sickening purple dinosaurs with obvious sexually predatory tendencies.
Must admit, my young chap loves Teletubbies, which is fairly good if you can get yourself into a two year old frame of mind (less a stretch for some than others, eh?).
Just make them do "funny" things like stick vegetables up their noses and such...doesn't sound like they've given you much of a palette to work with.Life and death is a grave matter;
all things pass quickly away.

I hope you have included the episode where the little rascles break into dads beer fridge and get themselves smashed.
