Dear Blippi,
It’s not you, it’s my kid. I’m afraid we can’t see you anymore. At least, it’s time we take it down a notch. This relationship is far more serious than I’m ready for.
Sure, we have had some good times together. My kid is now obsessed with construction trucks and can tell me the parts of a vehicle better than some mechanics I know. I think that’s pretty cute. We have learned some fun songs that I’ll sing for years to come, I’m sure. We learned about things that sink and float, and my child now really wants to go to “Las Vegas, Nevada!”
Because of you, Blippi, my 3 year old can spell his name. When he started walking around the house spelling out “B-L-I-P-P-I” I knew he was more than ready to figure out his own name. He washes his hands really well thanks to your method of saying Blippi over and over again really fast. He also says silly things like “that’s ‘BOAT-iful'” that I wondered about before realizing weeks later that he got it from you.
My kid loves you Blippi, but things are just getting too serious.
It’s becoming an addiction. You are a YouTube star, which means your episodes can easily loop over and over until the end of forever without me really noticing anymore. It’s hard for me to say goodbye, because you have helped me cook dinner, poop alone, and even put the dishes away! For that I thank you.
Last night we turned off the TV in the middle of my kid watching an episode about kayaks and you would think we had physically hurt him! There was screaming, shouting and stomping…it was bad. Any other show seems to have less effect on him. I don’t know what it is about you Blippi but it’s time for a detox. We have to break up.
Again, thank you for all you do, but I promise it’s not you, it’s us.
Bah ha ha! This is fantastic! I ditto everything you say! Nailed it!
Thank you!! I figured I wasn’t alone…glad to hear I was right! ;p
My son and nephew are exactly the same!! We have done a ‘Blipping detox’ of literally a couple of months and the boys STILL ask for Blippi… their behaviour about it has me wondering why is it SO addictive??!!
Right!?! I think he hypnotizes them! haha!!
This made my husband and me literally laugh out loud. All true!!! Great post.
hahaha I thought it might be relatable!! Glad it gave you a laugh 😉
As I‘m planning my son’s Blippi theme 2 birthday, I came across this. You hit the nail right on the head. I blame my three old for my almost two year old’s obsession. I have had to make up with Blippi’s schedule and say “Blippi doesn’t work until after nap time and/or he doesn’t work on weekends”. After this party we need a long break!
Oh my gosh I totally get that! It’s been a while since I wrote this post and Blippi is still a household name around here…good luck with the party though! I bet it will be a blast 🙂
This is exactly our story. My son Liyan loves Blippi, I was wondering if there is a way to message him and he right back to Liyan a few words. We are in Australia.
Blippi can you please come and visit us in Australia ( message from Liyan)
Cheers
I bet he will do that some day!! But then apparently his live shows don’t even have him in them. He uses a body double!
i came across to your post As i was convinced that he is addictive and started googling to find a away to detox my child from Blippi. My two year old wakes up in the middle of the night and cries for Blippi. Its concerning that both my husband and i are worried. my husband is so worried that he will try to delete his videos from our youtube feeds.
Oh gosh! I believe it!! My son always talks about how badly he wants to meet Blippi in real life haha. I hope you have found some relief from the addiction!
