Today, while watching The Many Adventures of Winnie-the-Pooh with my 5 year-old, I realized why the kangaroo's name is Kanga, and why her son's name is Roo. Kanga-Roo. Get it? Yeah. I didn't until today. I'm 47. FML

I feel sorry for your poor kid, the kid is only 5 years old and the mother is already nearly 50. peers are going to ask the kid if it's the grandmother that picks him/her up from school. imagine when the kid is 15 and the mother is nearly 60. ahaha , 15 - prime bullying years. poor kid. nice work having a kid so late (Y)

Who the hell cares how old they were when they had their daughter, the point is they are there for her and that she's healthy. I'm sick of seeing these posts talking about the person's and child's age. That part is not the point of the post. The point was that they didn't realize Kanga-Roo. *rolls eyes* FYL for caring so damn much about age.

um winnie the pooh - his name is told in the stories - he had his arms stuck up above his head once and a fly kept landing on his nose so he would go "pooh" to swat it away and that's how he got his name - thats my memory from reading the book..... as for kanga-roo, i spose if you're american you don't rly have kangaroos around, unlike here in australia where i live, everyone would get it straight away...

ok, so to all the retards out there (I'm so sorry I don't mean it) here are the origins of the names as I was taught: A. A. Milne, the author of the original book, created these characters based off his son Christopher Robin's toys and their imaginary adventures. His toy bear was named after I think an ostrich named Winnie and a different zoo animal named pooh. Tigger is obviously from the word tiger and rather than pounce he bounced. You can thank childhood innocence for that. Piglet is a boy (no more confusion) and he is named Piglet cause he's a small pig. Rabbits a male rabbit Eeyore I'm just gonna guess is derived from "ear"? like a donkey ear? Maybe it's more kid speak. Kanga + Roo = Kangaroo haha I realized that at like age 5 Owl's an owl I think that's it hope you've been enlightened!
