I’ve watched 150 episodes of Bluey and have learned that a cartoon can make a grown man cry.
I strive to be as good a parent as Bandit and Chili are.
The episode that Bingo is having that wild space dream was legitimately visually impressive.
Episode where it's inferred (at least, I don't remember them directly stating it) that Chili's sister can't have children and it bothers her is the one that got me watery-eyed.
On the other hand, the hand puppet unicorn had me pissing myself laughing. "What's your favorite thing to eat?!" "Children..." "Oh.." "Just kidding!"
The staff on Bluey really care about the program, and it shows.
I have a t-shirt with Unichorse on it that says "And why should I care?"
It's a hit with parents and kids alike ❤️
And now I've gotta find one for my wife!
