I talk a bunch of trash about geese, but my white-hot hatred is not limited only to those wretched creatures. No, there is another, albeit also from Canada. He’s small and whiny and bald. He lives in an incompletely animated universe and actually gets excited about participation trophies.
For those fortunate enough to not know who I’m talking about, it’s Caillou. Caillou serenades me many mornings as I get ready for work because I’m a horrible parent who occupies the three-year-old with television while I get ready for work. It’s an enraging way to start the day.
Recently, the nanny arrived and “Daniel Tiger” was on instead. I told her I’d pushed an actual movie and failed. She replied, “At least it’s not ‘Caillou.’” I looked at her and said, “Yes, ’Caillou’ fills me with murderous rage.” Without missing a beat, she came back, “I’ll help you bury the body.”
The Canadians seem like a docile people then you remember they nurtured satan. Caillou must be stopped. The illuminati are among our young.— Trendy Lady (@ladybroseph) December 6, 2013
We’re not alone.
Look lady, I'm sorry I kicked your stupid kid
but in my defense he looks just like that little bitch Caillou.— Scary Floyd (@dafloydsta) January 30, 2014
People defend Caillou less than they defend geese.
In order to teach my kids about humanity and kindness, I stabbed Caillou numerous times, putting him out of his misery.— Carbosly (@Carbosly) March 2, 2014
No. One. Likes. Him.

Of course he plays with glitter.
Caillou didn't wash his hands before snack. Of course, he isn't ostracized like other kids because his hands have glitter on them. Figures.— Laura (@Laura_Beth_02) September 22, 2015
Now let’s talk about how strong he is.

Too bad she didn’t get to Caillou’s parents before it was too late.

Okay, I kid, I kid. You should probably remember how many kids you have and not hit them with refrigerator doors. Unless your kid is a bald whiner who needs to toughen up a bit. Maybe ignore him and show him some tough love. In any case, ’til next week, assuming that little punk doesn’t drive me to do something rash.
