Manga

My kids are "into" Manga, a Japanese animation.  They watch a lot of the cartoons on YouTube - most are in Japanese with subtitles.  I love them being interested in another culture.  Anna has even learned some basic Japanese words, and she can sing the entire theme song to one of the shows with a dead-on accent.

However, a lot of the characters have high-pitched syrupy baby voices.  And now my kids are talking to me in baby talk.  And I cannot abide baby talk!
