Most people who have ever seen the show Handy Manny would think Manny was a cute, likable character. I'm sure Disney created him to appeal to kids like Baylor. Baylor has made it very clear that this is not the case. He for some reason is terrified of Handy Manny. I often have Baylor watch the Disney channel in the morning, so I can get ready and shower, and at the same time keep him out of mischief. I obviously don't have the Disney channel schedule memorized, so there have been times that Handy Manny came on. As soon as the show began Baylor would book it upstairs screaming in fear, "No Handy Manny. I don't want to see Handy Manny." I'd like to remind you this is a very nice, likable character. He goes around fixing things and helping people. He also has cute and funny talking tools that go on his adventures with him. Like Disney, I also thought he would be a character that Baylor would like, so a while ago I bought him some Handy Manny underwear. Anytime, I tried to get Baylor to wear it he refused. So, I stopped trying and put them in a basket in his room by his books. One night when Baylor was suppose to be in bed sleeping he got up to read his books. He then apparently discovered the basket with Handy Manny underwear. You could have put the Boogey Man in there and gotten a less extreme reaction from Baylor. He was terrified. I heard him screaming and crying, "No, I don't like Handy Manny!" I then rushed upstairs to find Baylor running towards me forcing me to take the underwear away. Needless to say, the Handy Manny underwear has been replaced by Thomas the Train.

Oh my gosh! that's so funny! And sad he's so scared. Kids are great!
That post is hilarious! What a cute personality your little Baylor has.
Creeps me out, too!
That is hilarious! He has the cutest personality. I'm sure things are rarely boring at your house.
Oh my gosh that is funny but sad. Don't you wonder how they think and specifically what about it scares him? At least he'll still wear underwear! :)
