When I was in high school, I'd always visit a friend right around the corner to hang out. He lived with his cousin's family than his own and, after school, he'd be watching his young cousin who the mother would leave the PBS channel on.

Because we're babysitting to a degree, I'm noticing shows like Sagwa and Dragon Tales while she watched and sung along.

Heck, I loved Sesame Street and Arthur growing up so I ain't judging.

In Dragon Tales, I ended up liking Cassie. I find myself always liking the smart character out of a group in a show at times. Donatello from TMNT, Simon from Alvin and the Chipmunks, and Billy the Blue Ranger from the original Power Rangers and I'm half and half with Kermit the Frog and Ralph the Dog from Muppet Show. Probably because they're grounded in the surroundings that's going on.

Similar to the Wendy O. Koopa thing I did 8 years ago, this one is done in a not-so antagonizing light with Dio meeting Cassie after all those years.
