Anyone with children might be able to relate to our problem. You see, as much as we'd like to let the Cutlet do nothing but frolic and play outside, build things with his blocks and draw beautiful sketches of rainbows and irritable monkeys, today's modern life dictates that he will watch the occasional children's video.
We limit his viewing to a few hours a day, and this is made easier by the fact that we have but one TV in the house. In a pinch, this very computer plays DVDs and has some pumpin' speakers to boot. Inevitably, the Cutlet gets some TV time. Worse for all of us, he usually gets a temporary favorite movie or video in his mind and wears it out until we all hate it.
Below are four lines from movies that have, at one time or another (including now), been a favorite of our son:
1. "I think you'll find a slight squeeze on the hooter to be an excellent safety precaution, Miss Scrumptious!" (This cracks me up every time I hear it.)
2. "With fronds like these, who needs anemones?"
3. "We won the Mr. Twisty's Twisted Cheese Curls Sweepstakes!"
4. "We all prisoners, chickie babie. We all locked in. Couple of weirdos, Guinevere."
If you guess the films these lines come from, you get no prize except my deepest sympathies. I cannot even offer you an oar, despite the fact that we're apparently in the same boat.
they talk about hooters in kids movies??????? :-)
I know that the second one is Finding Nemo. I have no idea on the others. I'll give you a quiz for some of Boogie's favorites:
1) Excuse me? Are you talking to me? Did you rub my lamp? Did you wake me up? Did you bring me here? And now you're walking away from me? I don't think so. Not right now, you're getting your wishes, so sit down!
2) I don't think I asked for a wake-up call, Mikey.
3) I'm thirsty. I just need a drink of water ... I know, I know ... Freeze.
Let me know what you think.
Yeah, I too know only the Finding Nemo reference. I guess I haven't been hanging out with enough kids lately!
