Hehehe. I do all the actions too (or used to be able to. Not sure...have to look into it again). The elephant show was my favorite as a child.

I used to mark u's in the things just to tick off people. Hehehe.

and I've eatten those maple sugar things. They're awesone.

I'm upset though. Canda has "Are You Afraid of the Dark" on their tv and we don't anymore. I loved that show! I miss it too. *cries*

Awww, I thought that show was gone forever and so I let it go, but now that I hear the Canadians have it, I'm mad.

You know you're in Canada when even the toddlers know how to play hockey and curl

That show was awesome, even more the reason to move to Canada.
