At the risk of starting yet another internecine conflict about something related to other people's experience with children and/or their interaction with television programs, Bing is brilliant.
Well, Bing isn't. Flop is. As are all the adults. Bing et al (including weirdo Pants off Pando) demonstrate truly terrifying (well, normal toddler) behaviours. And yet, we never see Flop lose his shit. This is how it should be.
Flop is literally modelling good parenting. Flop is demonstrating HOW a parent should respond. Flop is demonstrating to children that things aren't worth getting all fussed up about.
I remember trying to teach my kid "to blow the angry away" (as Flop and Soolah demonstrated once). I failed. I wish I could be more like Flop.
