Mama Loves the Poyopoyo-Saurus (ママはぽよぽよザウルスがお好き, Mama wa Poyopoyo-Zaurusu ga Osuki?) is a yonkoma manga series by Takako Aonuma which ran in the Japanese child-raising magazine Petit Enfant. The manga was adapted to a 52-episode anime TV series which ran on the MBS and TBS networks (except for TV Yamaguchi) from September 2, 1995 through August 31, 1996. The series is sometimes called Mama Poyo.
The series follows the "adventures" of a young mother and father as they deal with the joys and challenges of raising small children. The "poyopoyo" in the title is an onomatopoeia for the young children "toddling" around (or walking unsteadily).
Famous quotes containing the words mama and/or loves:
“My Mama has made bread
and Grampaw has come
and everybody is drunk
and dancing in the kitchen”
—Lucille Clifton (b. 1936)
“O, beware, my lord, of jealousy!
It is the green-ey’d monster which doth mock
The meat it feeds on. That cuckold lives in bliss
Who, certain of his fate, loves not his wronger;
But, O, what damned minutes tells he o’er
Who dotes, yet doubts, suspects, yet strongly loves!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
