So my three year old son wakes up nearly every morning saying "Can we watch Spongebob.. Where is Spongebob?" Sigh.. at 7:30 in the morning the last thing I want to hear is that annoying laugh. What is it that makes Spongebob so appealing to some?

So what exactly is the allure of this yellow squishy sea dweller that catches the attention of children and adults everywhere? Is it his wonderful voice that is constantly in my living-room? Is it his big blue eyes? Is it his infectious laugh that really really has to grow on you?

I don't know ...I think it is all in the bubbly attitude he has towards his life. A single dude working for nothing but the pride of being a fry cook. He looks forward to going to work each day. Can the rest of us say that?

Spongebob lives in the moment with the best of intentions always. He may go about things the wrong way but he is trying to make others happy. Is this something the rest of us make an effort to do?

He and his buddy Patrick Make time to have fun Can the rest of us say that? They plan a jelly fishing trip nearly every week!. They are amused by the simplest of activities. Why they have taken bubble blowing to a new art!

Spongebob doesn't have very many relationship problems. He seems to have a few close friends but is immensely popular. (I have really wondered how close Spongebob and Patrick really are)

Spongebob is loyal to his friends and his job. He is dependable and brutally honest.

Spongebob doesn't dislike anyone and is always trying to help others.

Spongebob is almost always happy. And it takes so little to make him grateful.

Spongebob is a good neighbor. He is always checking on his neighbor Mr. Squidward.

Spongebob has responsibilities. Besides his job he also takes care of his pet snail Gary.

Spongebob cares about his appearance but is not obsessed with it.

These are qualities you wish you could find in your significantly other. Spongebob could very well be on Match.com for all we know!

 So aside from Spongebob's driving skills and his wardrobe his positive attributes outweigh the negative. Maybe the next time you see that silly smile  and hear that awful laugh you too will be inspired to be a little more like Spongebob.
