Everything I need to know I learned from Dora the Explorer

The boys started their love of Dora the Explorer around the age of 2.  Now they are 6.  With the exception of a few days here and there, I've seen Dora every single day for 4 years.  I've seen every episode she's ever recorded.  Sung every song.  Read nearly all her books.  I think she's got a lot of great knowledge to share with us.

Always carry your backpack.  ~  Everywhere you go, there will be a clear path to follow.  ~  Almost all inanimate objects can speak, and they usually speak Spanish.  ~  Almost all animals can speak as well, and they are often bilingual.  ~  All baby animals like to be sung to sleep.  ~  It's good to have a reliable set of friends. ~  Those friends will pop up conveniently whenever you need them, and will have, or be driving, precisely what you need.  ~  Your family is very jolly, lighthearted and supportive, and always willing to go on adventures with you.  ~  When bad things happen, they will happen in very slow motion, so you have plenty of time to consult your friends or your backpack.  ~  When you travel to different countries, the first thing you must do is dress appropriately and then learn to sing "hello" in whatever language they speak there.  ~  Magicians and witches are evil, but very easily outfoxed by a 6-year-old girl and her monkey friend.  ~  Please really is a magic word, if spoken in Spanish.  ~  Always be nice to your enemies, even though time and again, they show up to try to swipe your stuff.  ~  The correct pronunciation of Tapir is "tape-ee-er."  ~  Aliens are cute, colorful little furry creatures who behave and speak like toddlers and have American names.  ~  When things work out in your favor (and in the end, they always do), you should always do a little celebration dance.  ~  Be kind to animals.  ~  You're nobody if you can't count to at least 10 in English and Spanish.
