She was being sarcastic because that is how kids say it. I am sure everyone on here knows all about Dora if they already have kiddos. We have been watching Dora here for years and DS has every DVD and still watches them on Nick JR daily. He even named his monkey boots.

This past Sunday in church, there were two little girls behind us, and one yelled out, "SWIPER!" right in a very quiet part of the service. I held my breath, because I was sure the 2 nieces were going to pipe up from our pew with, "NO SWIPING!", but they didn't say a word, bless their little hearts!

(And, yes, Mindy - that's how they pronouce the Dora the "Explora", but I think she caught that in my post, because her response had a cute little winkie smiley in it.)

We're big Dora fans here too.. Bryce is only 10 1/2 months old but will sing "Dora Dora Dora adf;oaifanvhajedhnhafafjaba;go" ~ I don't understand anything she says after Dora!

A friend's little girl will yell at her baby brother everytime he takes something of hers ~ with her hand held out in front of her ~ "Swiper, no swiping!"

I sometimes find myself singing, "back pack, back pack...." when Dora is not even on! My little boy LOVES Dora. It is sad that they make most of Dora's merch. in pink.

Add mine to the club! Totally Dora obsessed! My son even more than my daughter. (Diego just doesn't cut it for him. Don't know why.)

Kattie - Yes, they come on DVD also.
