The Tooth Of The Lion

Are there still series you watch since you were a kid?

Here we have Die Maus. Wiki says the average person is around 40 (hello, you soon have to set that up to 50!!! ;-)...)
When I was a kid there was the mouse and the elephant, now there is a duck, too.
I do not like the duck.

Armin is still there, as Christoph, still in his green pullover.

Sesame Street?
No.
I loved it, my Dad watched with me, we got the original (translated to German). Then the German version. No. HUIUIUI is too much.

Löwenzahn.
"Peter Lustig" (Peter Funny) is long gone. Darn cancer :-(
Now there is a dog called "Keks" (cookie), and a man named "Fritz Fuchs" (Fox, as in smart fox, not the TV-channel ;-)... ).

Back then the "prefix" showed a bitumen road that cracked and then a "Löwenzahn" grew (dandelion, we call it "lion tooth").
Now?
There is Fritz Fuchs standing on a fake road with a torch. And the torch reveals items like the Earth, like a train... things that get explained later. But in the end there is still (fake!!!!) Löwenzahn.
At first I felt a tad "devastated". Another piece of my childhood being gone with this new version.

This show, as all three, were to explain how life works and in the end I even thought, hey, this is the better prefix!!!

Yes, my childhood is (looooong) gone, but these shows are still good (though politically drifted).
So sad my Nieces do not watch "old-fashioned TV" but on demand and do not even know these shows!

Does "Paw Patrol" teach you something?

Sundays are like this: Löwenzahn, Die Maus, and after that a fairy tale. (Well we skip the very old ones, they are horrible)
A nice tradition on cold, rainy days, plus, we´re home anyways it´s brunch time.

Sad they do not have this. When they are old there will be no memories, it all was "just on demand".

Do you remember when there were but three channels, you had to get up and WALK to the TV to change the channel and at midnight... beeeeeep.

Yes, I am old and yes, they will have different memories. But will they have memories of tradition?
Will they have a tradition they can have all life long, like me?
We may sleep in on Sundays, but we´re sure up for Löwenzahn!!!

Oh, and! Ingo certainly came home with this:

The bag is mine, from the times I still was able to donate blood...

Yah, everybody makes fun of my name. Colors for eggs, tissues, water...

And guess what was in the bag?

And Ingo, whom I asked over and over again if he wants an egg to take to work and got a "no" even complained he got no colored eggs!

Off soon to our lonely neighbour. He still isn´t allowed to see his wife in the nursing home. Maybe some colored eggs might give him a lille smile today.

Happy Easter, if you celebrate.

Lion of the day? Well,the tooth ;-)
