Dr. Shivious & The Spectacle

As much as I gripe about the day in and day out of motherhood, my kids often catch me off guard and impress the hell out of me with their imagination and inventiveness.  Just one of these instances can erase a month full of agitation and grief!


One such example is Dr. Shivious.  Dr. Shivious is a character the boys created. He's a bumbling psychiatrist who really knows nothing about his chosen profession.  He cracks jokes and makes fun of his patients (obviously he's played by Nick!).  When it's time to get serious, Dr. Shivious will ask his patient (William) what the problem is and William will confess, "Well, Dr. Shivious, I've just been really down lately. I think I'm depressed."  Dr. Shivious, rather than get to the heart of the matter, will exclaim with great self satisfaction, "Yes you are!" and that will be the end of the session.  This is all being recorded by the Flip camera they have set up on some nearby table. For why would one create such amusement unless it could be shared with all on Youtube?!

Most recently, Dr. Shivious sat down with Zach Bagans from Ghost Adventurers.  He confirmed that Zach is in fact a tool!



So last night William heard an advertisement on TV for The View.  He decided a show called The Spectacle might make for a funny parody. (maybe they're watching too much SNL....) Anyway, he wrote his news report, they set up the Flip, and they proceeded to film The Spectacle.


"Hello there and welcome tooooooooo The Spectacle! I'm William and THIS is our top story of the night!




-A young kitten is accused of physically abusing a butterfly on someones front lawn. Witnesses say the kitten was defending himself, therefore no charges will be pressed.


In other news tonight:


-A man in Wisconsin gets his finger stuck in a coin slot while digging for change"


I think Nick just sits there looking cute and laughing at William because, truth be told, Nick is rarely able to stay up late enough for SNL so he has no material.


So there it is!  All the griping rights that motherhood affords me is offset by the occasional bragging rights it affords me!
