I even accepted a screen-printed shirt of Dora with my daughter’s name on the top. I am a total hypocrite. Oh, don’t get me wrong, my kid loves her some boots and backpack. Dora is kiddie crack, and my kid has taken a huge snoot full. But if she grows up to be anything like the bilingual girl with a horrible sense of direction, I give you permission to make me wear a Bad Parent badge. Let’s face it: Dora is a horrible role model.
- She Doesn’t Pull Down Her Shirt. Didn’t her mother ever teach her presentation is everything? Tuck it in, girl, we don’t want to see your belly button.
- She Talks to Her Backpack … and It Talks Back. Inanimate object lesson number one: If it talks back to you, put down the doobie.
- She Has a Bad Memory. Is there any other reason to repeat three simple directions over … and over … and over.
- She’s Always the Victim. Note to Dora: Swiper will steal your stuff unless you lock that stuff up. Stop being a ninny and have his ass arrested.
- She Doesn’t Tell Her Parents Where She’s Going. If my kid has plans with a squirrel and an iguana, I’d like to at least get her her shots first. Does Dora drive you loco? Image via NickJr
