Pieni pakkomielle / Small obsession

Kyseessa on vanhemman tyttareni pakkomielle. Momi (aidin aiti) antoi noin vuosi sitten tuliaiseksi Olipa kerran.... elama sarjan DVD:lla. Paketti ei juuri siihen hetkeen tuntunut mieluisalta vaikka yritettiinkin etta katsotaan yhdessa. No, noin kuukausi sitten katsottiin yhdessa yksi jakso. Sain oikein puhumalla puhua etta ethan tieda minkalainen ohjelma on jos et edes yrita katsoa. No, ensimmainen jakso katsottiin. Sitten toinen. Kolmas. Neljas. Sitten piti pitaa jo tauko. Nyt neiti ei haluaisi muuta katsoakaan. Selittaa minulle bakteereista ja viruksista ja "valkoaineista" (valkosoluista) kaiken maailman asiat. Kun tuli kipeeksi ilmoitti etta "siella ne virukset nyt hyokkaa". :) Minulla ei ole mitaan tata pakkomielletta vastaan. Oppiminen on tehokkainta silloin kun se on mieluisaa. Ja vanhemmat saastyy suurelta maaralta miten/miksi kysymyksia. Tiedan etta, Momi on jo kaappiensa katkoihin hankkinut Olipa kerran... ihminen DVD sarjan. Muistan itse oppineeni vaikka kuinka sita katesellessani. Sita siis odotellessa. Pikkuinen hytina on etta siitakin saattaa tulla aikanaan jonkinlainen pakkomielle.

In question is my older daughter's obsession. Momi (grandmother) gave about a year ago a present of Once upon a... Life DVD set (French cartoon about how body works). At that particular moment the DVDs did not create any kind of interest despite the tries to watch it together. Well, about a month ago we watched one episode together. I really had to talk her into it telling that you have no idea what the program is alike if you do not watch one episode. We watched one. Then another. Then third. Fourth. After that we had to have a break. Now she wouldn't want to watch anything else. She's explaining me about bacteria and viruses and white cells... everything she knows. When she got cold she calmly said that the "viruses are attacking my body". :) I have nothing against this obsession. Learning is most effective when it's fun. And parents will be saved from a lot of why/how questions. I know that Momi has already got Once upon a... Man (again a cartoon about history of human kind). I remember learning so much from it when I was a child. I have a feeling that that too will become a small obsession when she gets it.
