The other day I thought it would be fun to see if Melina would do an exercise video with me. I put in the Bollywood Workout, which has a lot of fun jumping and spinning, but I noticed that she kept hiding behind me. So I switched over to a yoga video, and then a Kundalini dance workout, but Melina was acting strange and shy the entire time. Finally I asked, "Do you think those people are watching you?" She nodded. "So you think there are people inside the TV?" She nodded again. I tried to assure her that there weren't people inside the TV watching her, but she insisted there were. I tried to explain that real people couldn't fit inside the TV, but it didn't matter. As of today, she still believes there are women dancing inside the TV. I asked her later where they went when the TV was off, and she said they went to sleep. It's really hard to explain how a TV works to a three-year-old.
