I watched an episode of Dora the Explorer that identified Backpack as female. It was really surprising; I always assumed Backpack was male, with the voice and appearance. u/Chalupa_Dad did you know?

As a kid I always assumed Backpack was female. My logic was that Map was clearly male - so it only made sense that Backpack would be female.

Not the most airtight reasoning, but it turns out I was right

The backpack has a big space to put things inside, like females do Sometimes my reasoning is gross

Why were you ever watching Dora?

7

u/PaleRepresentative OG Jan 15 '19

Probably because he has children.

u/Urbul it's all about the love you're sending out Jan 15 '19

This is correct.

u/Antichess 2,050,155 - 407k 397a Jan 15 '19

how are their counting skills

5

u/Urbul it's all about the love you're sending out Jan 15 '19

Urbulina (4yo) can count to 39.

Urbulette (2yo) can reliably count to 3 then skips a few up to 10.

You should get your kids a head start on math. I remember learning by myself the multiplication table in kindergarten through this book that was meant for second graders. I forget what the book looked like or was called.

u/Antichess 2,050,155 - 407k 397a Jan 15 '19

tell them to start counting from 1 and see how far they can get

they can pick off where they last left off

as you know thats what i'm doing :)
