If We Were Dora the Explorer

Sometimes I don't know how we get talking about certain things, but somehow yesterday the conversation turned out a deep and thought provoking question. 

"If you were a Dora character, who would you be?"

If you don't have small children, or are not a grandparent, or have never been in a toy store in the last 10 years, you probably don't know who Dora the Explorer is. It is a tv show geared for preschoolers and all our children when they were that age LOVED this show. Us parents tolerated it, well, until her cousin Diego (an animal rescuer) got his own show, then we were hooked just like our kids! Anyway, it teaches spanish to your little ones and asks the kids to answer questions and to 'help' them on their adventure. 

But, if you know all the characters......

"If you were a Dora character, who would you be?"

Here is our answer.

I would be backpack.

Backpack is always there for Dora. Whenever they need help they ask backpack for it. She carries everything that they would ever need and is always there for them. Totally me.

Paul would be map.

Map is always asked for the big picture. He knows what needs to happen and gives the plan to the rest of them. He might be a little repetitive but it is only to make sure everyone knows what to do. The big picture leader.

Beaner would be Isa the Iguana.

Isa is very sweet. She is caring and loves flowers. She may not be the leader of the pack but is willing to help where she can. You can always depend on her.

J Man would be boots. 

Boots is Dora's adventure buddy. He is a little goofy and may not be able to solve his own problems yet, but is willing to join Dora on whatever adventure she is on. He also sometimes hides at the end of the show.

And Cici? Well, no surprise here, she would be Dora.

Dora is the leader. She is verbally directive with a strong, confident and sometimes loud voice. She is brave, compassionate and gets things done. She is an imaginative problem solver who cares for people.

So, there you have it.

Who would you be?
