it’s indiana jones season, after months and months of really fun hype… some lego indiana jones minigames that the boys unlocked on their lego star wars wii game, some really awesome indy lego sets, some burger king toys… the twins, especially, have really gotten into indiana jones. they’ve spent the last several months in their dad’s old indiana jones hat, making whips out of blankets, etc, without ever having seen any of the original trilogy. so i didn’t even recognize the impending “twinkle twinkle little star = the ABC song” epiphany until i sat down to breakfast this morning with SpazMonkey, who must have finally seen a trailer for the new indy movie while surfing youtube or something (now that they can read and write, one of the twits’ favorite things to do is sit down at my laptop, bug me to open up youtube, and type in things like “lego star wars” or “particle man” or “brass monkey” and laugh their butts off at the wierd stop-motion movies nerds like them make.) after i got through some coffee and waffles, i realized that SpazMonkey was just sitting there staring at a couple of lego figurines. like, sitting there QUIETLY. seriously, after he got through his “but what’s gonna happen if i DO?” 300 times a day phase, he spent a solid month or so asking how to spell just about every word he heard. now that’s passed, and we’ve moved onto him asking the definition of every word he hears, to the point that i’m about to buy the boy an encyclopedia. and beat him with it.
he was so awed that he WHISPERED the entire conversation:
SM: mom!
me: what?
SM: indiana jones and han solo are the SAME GUY!
i take a closer look at the lego figurines before him: one indiana jones, one han solo. they’re standing nose to nose.
me: are they talking to each other?
SM: yeah!
me: what are they saying?
SM: they’re saying… “duuuuuuuuude!”
