VeggieTales Review

The second VeggieTales DVD, God Wants Me to Forgive Them!??, introduces us to the Grape family– Pa, Ma, Ruth and Tommy.  They’re the grapes of wrath that never take a bath, and they have quite the car!

One of the spin offs of this car is a book put in Chick-Fil-A meals that talked about Pa Grape’s shapes– trying to figure out what shape tires go on Pa’s Car.

Pa would never have needed to appeal to the 3 and 4 year olds of America if he had only had made sure to get a Used Car Warranty from the dealer! 

You see, the auto insurance on your car protects against an accident, but not against something breaking.  New cars always carry a warranty from the manufacturer, but not so with used cars.

So, if you want protection you’re going to need to look elsewhere.  Or, you could always do like Pa and come up with a book to pass out in Kids Meals!

That’s right, I got it straight from the Big Idea mailing list (click to see full image):

I wonder if they get this because they’re part of the Saturday morning offering on NBC, or what!  Great opportunity, though.

Babysitter in DeNile is the first segment on the VeggieTales – Duke and the Great Pie War DVD. This cute segment stars Laura the Carrot as Miriam in the story of Moses in the bulrushes (one of the few Bible stories that has been told twice, and had three different vegetables as Moses!).

One of the things that I found that was interesting in this story was that I hadn’t totally thought through what it would have been for the princess to adopt Moses– and God’s protection there.

The princess would have had guards (though it wouldn’t have been a public pool) and they would have frowned on having a Hebrew boy adopted by the princess– as her parents would have too.

It just made it all the more real to me how God is in control of the smallest details and will protect those for which He has a purpose!

So, you’re finally ready to send off your little onion to college. You’ve watched it grow since it was a tiny seed, and you’ve tried to instill all the love that you can while they were growing up.

It hasn’t been easy, you know– all that time trying not to cry.

And yet the hardest time is yet ahead– because, being an onion yourself, you’re not sure how much federal funding you can get to send your prized child to floss farming college where he can learn the benefits of regular teeth cleaning.

Fear not, there’s a site to help you fill out your federal FASFA forms. It can guide you step by step to help you fill in your income, their social security number and how many times they almost made it onto a VeggieTales DVD. They love to provide assistance to you and your family so that you don’t have to do it alone.

Yes, and you can also find out FASFA secrets– things that the gourd family down the street does not know.

So, what are you waiting for– find out how you can get money from the government now, before someone starts peeling little Olivia and you really start to cry!
