The ABC has recently been showing re-runs of Mr Bean (for those of you that don't know what it is, it is a classic Rowan Atkinson tv series based largely around physical comedy) and we caught the tail end of one recently. Eli had never seen it before, but he was immediately transfixed and thought it was just hilarious. When I mentioned to him that I have a lot of Mr Bean episodes on DVD (yes, that's my sense of humour that he's inherited) he wanted to watch them all, straight away!
So, we've been watching a fair bit of Mr Bean lately (fortunately Grandma Susan quite likes it too) and Eli reliably cracks up at least once or twice per episode - these photos show him watching with anticipation and then laughing at one such episode.
Signifying his complete indoctrination, Eli has now started to remember bits and pieces of Mr Bean episodes while we're doing other things and he will just start laughing, for no apparent reason (in between fits of laughter he'll explain what he was thinking about). A couple of nights ago I actually had trouble getting him to sleep, because he was remembering a particular episode and was laughing hysterically...have I created a monster?
