April 20, 2011 I have 3 kids and they spend a lot of time each week glued to shows on Nickelodeon, The Cartoon Network, Disney Channel and many others.

Even better: the Koczon family reportedly received a special tour of the governor's office.
OK, if you could replace all the "da-da-da-da-das" with words, what do you think these adorable twin boys are asking each other?
