Fairly Odd Parents!?

There is a cartoon on Nickelodeon called Fairly Odd Parents. The premise is that this 8 year old boy's life sucked so much that he gets two fairy god parents (husband and wife Cosmo and Wanda) who can fulfill his wishes as long as he doesn't tell anyone about them. The catch is that the wishes rarely turn out like he thinks and he usually ends up learning an important life lesson in the process. This show is actually for a little older audience than my 3 1/2 year olds, however, my husband and I enjoy it too so we watch it. Well whenever someone asks the boy (Timmy) where he gets all these things he wishes for he just answers "internet". So, to get to the story the other day my girls were going to a new gymnastics class and I reminded them to tell the teacher who they were if the teacher got them confused. So they started joking around asking each other who they were, then started answering "I'm Savannah, that's what it says on my underwear" and "I'm Sydney, that's what it says on my underwear" and laughing uproariously. I started laughing too, mostly because I know they had no idea what that even meant. So I asked them where they had heard that (although I had an idea) and they answered "internet"! Then I really laughed. When I finished laughing I asked them where they had really heard that and they said "Cosmo" from fairly odd parents. They sure don't miss a thing!
