Hubby and I were having a conversation and it drifted to the topic of squirrels (while the Alvin and the Chipmunks were being played on TV) and I blurted out this question - What's the difference between a squirrel and a chipmunk? - we looked at each other and agreed that they are the same.
Or are they?
Well I have you know I did some research (I itched to know something about some things especially when there's a question raised and to avoid confusion and definition). Chipmunks are squirrels. Well, that's their other names. Chipmunks belong to the squirrel family scientifically known as Sciuridae and are particularly small to medium sized. They are in fact rodents (ugh, I particularly hate and fear the rat variety but I find squirrels cute). Oh well, you get the idea.
So, when I informed hubby, he reacted the way I did - aahhh. They way it should sound - so it is - kind. One more knowledge stored for life.
Thinking about it, I'm amazed to realize I basically grew up with this guys. I mean, Alvin and the Chipmunks. Eversince I can remember, I've always known their adventures, their ridiculous peskiness and the fact that their schemes were really cute and funny. With that, plus the fact their series were kid-friendly, I would want my kids to watch them.
To date, Alvin and the Chipmunks rises to make another squeak, this time in a movie, beautifully animated I can't wait for it to come out on DVD and blu ray (I seldom watch the big screen these past months) not to mention that it's in a double DVD package with a bonus disc that includes more music, mayhem and sing-alongs! This is one of those occasions that I get to see them beautifully animated, and highly defined. An addition to my growing collection of children favorites. I recommend you buy it now, let's reminisce the good times we had with them. Come to think of it, I recalled that I do have a CD of them, a christmas CD singing those chipmunk christmas songs. Cute.
And, before I forget, there's More Munk Mayhem available in Nickjr (my son's favorite online game site) where there are games and activities to enjoy A&C (Alvin and the Chipmunks) with. Squeak!
