Only moments ago, my wife pointed out that our 2-year-old was sitting on the floor of the den, snacking on edamame, while watching Mel Brooks get stabbed in the shower during the Psycho parody scene of High Anxiety.

(Sorry, I could only find a youtube of this scene in Italian)

We realized the moment was kind of surreal (thus my usage of the portmanteau, surrealization in the title). Yet the Psycho scene was followed only moments later by the first entrance of Madeline Kahn, playing the role of Victoria Brisbane. Surreal morphed into coincidence, because our Son recognized her from one of his favorite Sesame Street segments, something he watches almost daily, where Kahn sings the Echo Song to Grover.
Naturally, our child is doomed. His parents are simply too eccentric for him to rely on nuture overriding nature with respect to his development of likes and dislikes. But it's still fun to catalog the damage.
