Last weekend we took an adventure to my sisters house. It is a 3 1/2 hour drive each way. It is in the absolute middle of no where. We usually don’t take the DVD player with us, but this is such a LONG and BORING drive, I couldn’t say no. In fact, halfway through the drive I wanted to crawl in the back seat with the kids and watch movies, too. We had the perfect movie for the drive. Tiny Toon Adventures Crazy Crew Rescues is a 2 DVD set…that’s 5 hours (17 episodes) of old school Tiny Toon cartoons. As soon as the DVD started, I had a flashback to sitting in my family room after school dipping my graham crackers in milk and watching Tiny Toons with my sister. I started singing the theme song with the movie and my kids looked at me all confused and asked how I knew the song. Since they had never seen Tiny Toons, they assumed it was a new show. They liked the first episode, but when the 2nd came on (Going Somewhere) I went a little bit crazy on them. This was our FAVORITE Tiny Toon of all time. Baby Daffy Ducky is getting potty trained. His parents show him how to flush and sent toilet paper “down the the hole”. Daffy then sends all kinds of things “down the hole.” When the toilet starts to overflow, Daffy says “toilet paper come back” and goes though everything he flushed. We had to watch the same episode 3 times because all 4 of my kids thought it was hilarious!!
