My youthful reading habits... and tv.

Thorugh a string of happenstance webbrowsing, I ended up on the wikipedia page for the Animorphs tv series. Never watched it myself-- never even saw an ad. But I read about half of the book series as a kid.

Get this: apparently Jake was played by Shawn Ashmore. As in... that guy. From X Men.

Oh lordy, I am *so* happy I never saw Animorphs on tv. So very, very happy.

You should commend them for what they've worked to achieve, and encourage your daughters and sons to try their best as well.
