"Fresh as the moment when the pod went pop"? I said to Wolfgang just the other day that when I'm demented in old people's home, the last thing my ravaged brain will lose is 1970s advertising jingles. It's uncanny how the things stick.
I had forgotten about Bod, but it sounds like an evening well-spent (I'm jealous of you for having children who are prepared to share your interests. Mine smile in amused tolerance but wouldn't dream of watching 70s TV).
Did you see the story about the Dresden old people's home that recreated typical East German rooms for the residents with Alzheimer's disease who could remember things from the era?
Yes. I said that and they had no idea what I was talking about so I went to find evidence.
Mine play the saxophone and found Bod interesting in terms of jazzy theme tunes. But they might just be being polite. I am expecting the middle one to turn grumpy on hitting 13 in three weeks' time.
You never know, he might stay lovely. My younger one did. I think it's partly that people who are very empathetic and socially skilled have more effective ways of getting what they want than permanent rows. My elder one immediately goes on the attack if she's feeling defensive, whereas the younger one is all sweet reason and constantly gets her own way because she's so nice about it.
Yes. There was a period where eldest was about 13 and middle one about 10 when she was constantly furiously accusing him of being evil and sneaky by going about getting his own way by being nice and felt that this was deeply unfair and cheating and we were all being tricked by him. But they do get on a lot better now, having accepted that they are just both very different people And That Is OK, at least that's what I keep telling them.

It's certainly a nice cheap solution, especially if they recreated the food and (lack of) consumer goods.
