On Caillou

The 6 y.o.: The only thing on tv is Caillou
The 10 y.o.: Aaaargh. I can’t stand that whiny, alien, cancer boy.
The 6 y.o.: He doesn’t have cancer.
The 10 y.o.: He’s 4 years old and he’s bald. I mean even his DAD has hair. So it’s gotta be chemotherapy for his cancer. It’s a sub-plot.
The 6 y.o.: Well he’s not an alien.
The 10 y.o.: He’s Canadian; therefore, alien.
