Kids' TV characters come and go. We've been through the Backyardigans, Little Einsteins, Dora, Handy Manny. The list goes on. One of Littlest's favourites right now is Doc McStuffins. If your kids are older already, let me fill you in. She is a little girl who is a vet for stuffed animals. The animals can speak to her and she diagnoses all their ailments and her hippo nurse writes everything down in the 'big book of boo-boos.' Some of her diagnoses include things like dried-out-atosis and can't-pop-itis and loose-tooth-eosis.
Now to the story: the girls were out biking and Littlest is learning to ride her two wheeler. She would have it down no problem if she could stop talking and stop stopping every few feet to tell me something. Today one of her issues was that she kept getting a wedgie. Only she didn't call it a wedgie. She said she had wedgiosis. She'd pedal a bit and then I would see her feet come off the pedals and I would ask why. 'I just had to stop Dad 'cause I've got the wedgiosis.' Then she would rectify the problem and carry on. A little while later it was the same thing. The wedgiosis!
I think that judging by today, this problem can come in the acute and chronic varieties. When it hits, it needs to be taken care of now. But it does keep coming back over and over and over again. The occasional acute case wouldn't be that big of an issue. But the chronic...yowza. So before you head out on the bicycle this summer, make sure you've got good pants or shorts and underwear that aren't prone to riding where they shouldn't. Or the wedgiosis will strike you too. And ain't nobody got time for that. Later.
