That child scares me

[anagramofbrat]

Kidzilla and I were curled up giggling over Animaniacs clips on the iPad, one of which being "Nations of the World." We'll ignore for the moment that it's the world circa 1990 - it's still a fucking brilliant bit of geography lesson.

Here, watch it. I'll wait.

Done? Right. So the clip finishes, and Kidzilla says "But he didn't say South Africa!"

*cartoon blink*

She's absolutely right. He doesn't. DA HELL. STOP SCARING ME WITH YOUR OBSERVANT SMART KID AWESOMEPOWERS.

I'm gonna go be over here and be quietly astounded that Ms. Not Quite Eight Yet noticed that on viewing #1 and I have been SINGING this song for 22 years and failed to notice once.

It must be a slam, because he even mentions the Spanish Sahara, which, as he notes, 'is gone'.
