I rewatched that story of Ashley and Alf watching the start of The Lion King, while I know that I have moments of not properly engaging when my children are watching something (obviously I know I'm not perfect, and I often feel like TV time for the kids can mean I might get something ticked off my to-do list), I am actually pretty surprised that she's chosen this moment to share. She's not probing or asking questions to him, or trying to encourage more development in what he is seeing or recognising. Of course it's another opportunity for her to flutter her eyelashes at the camera while pretending to be mum of the year, but honestly it totally misses the mark for me and it just highlights again how she isn't even making the most simple effort to help him develop either with his language or his comprehension.
