Since the dawn of time, the peanut gallery has been driving their parents crazy"occasionally entertaining them"with the same phrases uttered over and over and over again.

It explains timeless phrases used by all children.

We left our house at the beginning of Sesame Street and we need to drive through Blue"s Clues, Barney, I Love Lucy, and The Gong Show. We won"t arrive at the hotel until the end of Nick at Nite. Got it'"Other gems translated for the first time:" I know you are, but what am I'" Where do babies come from'" He started it!" But Dad already said I could!
