Children%26#039;s story about animals trying to fit in a boot and the ant bursting it at the end??
Could it be The Armadillo Rodeo? It%26#039;s got to be a Jan Brett book. Another version of The Mitten.

Why is the ratio of boys to girls in children's shows usually always 3/2?

I have noticed this and am not sure what to think about it. I know that I have a daughter who loves these shows and I want her to know that she is a man%26#039;s equal. Why do you think this is a common formula amoung children%26#039;s shows?


Example:


Scooby Doo:


Boys 3: Scooby, Shaggy, Fred


Girls 2: Thelma, Daphnie


Micheky Mouse Club House:


Boys 3: Mixckey, Donald, Goofy


Girls 2: Daisy, Minnie


Little Einstiens:


Boys 3: Leo, Quincy, Rocket (is a he)


Girls 2: Annie, June


Dora the Explorer:


Boys 3: Boots, Tico, Bennie


Girls 2: Dora, Isa


I am aware that there are shows with girls as a majority but these shows are specifically geared towards girls where as the ones above (except Dora) are gender neutral geared.

Why is the ratio of boys to girls in children%26#039;s shows usually always 3/2?
What about the boys shows that only have boys on them?





I am sure we could sort through the hundreds of children%26#039;s shows and find a handful of shows to support nearly any statistic we came up with off the tops of our heads...as you have.
Reply:in college, for gcse sociolgy i taped of tv from 11 to noon and then went over the adverts to find which featured more women or more men and what they were advertising. you can guess how it went.





i like that you did that.





take note animators and cartoonists.
Reply:There might be a little sexism at times but there are plenty of shows that have a more female main characters then men ratio such as the Simpsons. I think it must be a thing for men and boys so thst they don%26#039;t feel like they are watching a female program. Notice how most fox 5 cartoons have the wife as a housewife like family guy and American dad? it must be a prefference. why i don%26#039;t know but it is stupid.
Reply:I say thats just a coincidence. But what about the Brady Bunch!? 3 boys and 3 girls? And ALL with hair of gold? you have to be crazy to say that. wasn%26#039;t planned out.





In case you couldn%26#039;t tell by the way i was being sarcastic and am really just wondering where the point is in this question
Reply:Maybe they just show cartoons and focus on the story rather than concentrate on how many boys and girls feature... What about other cartoons.... come on if you going to compare and have consensus we can think of thousands of things and difference to compare.... sometimes there is no answer.... its all the way it is.

Where can I find adult-size rain boots?

NOT the ones like this from Target:

However, I did like the children%26#039;s style boots from target:


http://www.target.com/Kids-Uda-Frog-Rain...


but they didn%26#039;t come in adult sizes.


Where can I find plain rain boots in adult sizes that don%26#039;t have a stupid pattern (like plaid or dots; frogs and kitty faces on the toe is acceptable) and don%26#039;t have a stupid heel like in the first picture.





Affordable would be cool too.





Also, I%26#039;d like to buy them in the store so I can try them on. I don%26#039;t want to buy them online.

Here%26#039;s a plain colored one from Urban Outfitters:

I love these frog boots! They%26#039;re from Nordstrom

Reply:Walmart and Sears.





Walmart has a pair for $15.

*Edit: I checked something with Sears online to see the choices....I didn%26#039;t find a plain style! I%26#039;m sure they%26#039;ll have in their stores...but I can%26#039;t believe everything is patterned....that is one fad I won%26#039;t be getting into! lol





Those frog boots are sweet! I should get a pair for my niece :-)

Where could i find a children's military boot camp near collinsville illinois?

I need to find a boot camp for children near collinsville Illinois, it%26#039;s for my Aunt, her children are horribly unruly!

Where could i find a children%26#039;s military boot camp near collinsville illinois?
It%26#039;s right over the bridge on Lexmark Hwy
Reply:Maybe you should rethink boot camp. If the children are old enough(16) Job Corps is a really good program. You will get your GED and learn a trade all in a matter of some months. You can also go to a college paid for by Job Corps. You get paid a little money to stay there and you still have a regular life. You live in dorms with people just like you. You should rethink the boot camp thing.
Reply:no where the states surrond them do or look on www.ask.com
Reply:try calling your local military recruiting office....i called once about it and they gave me a list to chose from......





or if you have a local national guard armory, try calling them too!!!
Reply:You should butt out, they are not your children.

The name of a children's mystery book in which a suspect wore hiking boots with the initials KK on the soles?

I recall reading this book in the early sixties and it took place on a mountain in a NE state that had a den of timber rattlesnakes in it. One of the suspects in the mystery was intent on burning out the rattlesnakes dens with gasoline. Decades latter I discovered the initials KK were a take-off of LL Bean.Anyone who can remember the name of the book and/or author has a far better memory then I do.


Good Night and Good Luck!
