I remember when Sponge Bob first came on the scene! My son was only eight-years-old at the time, and kept talking to me about “this really funny sponge”. Thank goodness for closed captioning, because it is VERY DIFFICULT TO READ A SPONGE’S LIPS!

Now that I’ve been “hearing again” for FOUR WONDERFUL years, I’ve learned that Sponge Bob has a rather annoying voice. But… it’s at least not as annoying as Patrick’s!

Happy Birthday Sponge Bob! I’m glad I was finally able to HEAR YOU!
