My willpower is much like a pipe cleaner, soft and flexible.
Must have's:
Is that not an awesome bike or what?
Light tape. Light TAPE!
Idea paint. Just click on it, because no picture I can upload will be as cool as what you can see from their website. And no, I'm not going to Rick-roll you. Seriously, if anybody is still pulling that they should be burned at the stake.
This weekend we were out and about doing... something. Whatever, it's irrelevant. We stopped at the grocery store so I could go run in and get something and while I'm gone the song September by Green Day comes on. The first line goes:
Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
wake me up when September ends.
My four year old says to Supreme Leader, "the innocence can never last in the time of dinosaurs"
Finally, from my six year old.
Connor: This pocket is where my ninja gets his hot dogs.
I couldn't make this stuff up.
Keely's, go and frolic.
The innocence can never last in the time of dinosaurs.
ReplyDeleteWords for the times.
I think I need to paint my entire house with the idea paint. I would love to be able to just erase everything that ends up on my walls.
I need some of that idea paint. And some chalkboard paint for the kids' rooms. And LIGHT TAPE?? Ohmigosh!
ReplyDeleteMr. HH and Indy must never, ever, ever see light tape. Seriously.
ReplyDeleteNice bike! Are you driving a mini van when you are cranking your Green Day? lol
ReplyDeleteKids really say the weirdest stuff!
I am glad that you liked my cock! Boy, that really sounds bad when taken out of context! hahaha
I am living in the time of dinosaurs...
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff. You could turn that into a cool story. Or a blog post! Wait, you already did :)
You like that bicycle? Seriously? It looks like it's half way to a recumbent bike, and the dude riding it looks, well, uncomfortable. But, then again, the dude riding it doesn't look like much of an athletic specimen.
ReplyDeleteI'm laughing at Otin's comment about cranking Green Day while driving the mini van. So hip.
ReplyDeleteI love your 6 year old's comment with the hot dogs. Where else would a ninja keep a hot dog?
Damn, I'm hungry now.
The right smoothie for dinner can work, you can make it until breakfast time!
ReplyDeleteSecretia
where my ninja gets his hotdogs....that is amazing!
ReplyDeletekids really should have their own blogs!
the kid rocks!
I agree with Brian, kids should have their own blogs, especially your kids!
ReplyDeleteCan think of tons of fun things to do with that light tape!
Both those boys of yours are deep. And, I mean that in a good way.
ReplyDeleteAmazing comments. Simply amazing. And so true. Innocence and the innocent stand no chance against dinosaurs.
ReplyDeleteFrom the English majors in the crowd...we really need to have a conversation about apostrophe's.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe he already has his own ninja. They get them younger and younger these days.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I'd pair lemon pie with chocolate chip cookies. I might have to test that.
ReplyDeletethe bike rocks! the conversation, priceless, lol
ReplyDelete"Rickroll" haha! Haven't heard that in a while! I love the idea paint! I have been wanting to paint my walls since we moved in 7 years ago, maybe I'll look into this more!
ReplyDeleteOh...My...God.
ReplyDeleteWhen I get a house, I am so totally painting my bedroom in idea paint.
Luckily for ninjas, their swords can provide double duty for those times they happen upon a wienie roast in a bad neighborhood.
ReplyDeletewow, idea paint. i need that for my whole house so my kid will stop picassoing my walls. maybe then i'd actually clean up after him.
ReplyDeleteThat's some cool looking tape.
ReplyDeleteHave a great Tuesday!
http://iamharriet.blogspot.com/2010/01/im-flying-next-week-and-here-is-one.html
I wish I lived in the time of Dinosaurs!
ReplyDeleteFunny, funny kids!
I want the light tape - NOW! I can think of so many uses - most involve taping teenagers mouths' shut or taping them to a chair or something equally fun!
Happy Tuesday!
Mmmmmm. Lemon meringue pie and hot dogs.
ReplyDelete(And snap! I spelled meringue right on the first try!)
(And I just went back to double check your spelling and saw that you had lemon pie. Not lemon meringue. Dammit.)
The last two posts...hmmmmmm. Your kids get their ideation from your wife! The randomness of their comments is awesome! I hope no one ever crushes their creativity!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to start carrying hot dogs in my pocket to see if I can attract some ninjas of my very own.
ReplyDeletethat paint is the most kick-ass idea i've seen in a long time
ReplyDeleteand is that hot dog in YOUR pocket ?
Deep thoughts and hilarity clearly abound at your house. I love hearing about both.
ReplyDeleteI love the way your mind works. Love the random thoughts. Your kids are BRILLIANT!
ReplyDeleteI am so getting that paint for my daughter's room. What a great idea. In fact the whole house gets painted in Idea Paint.
ReplyDeleteMmm, idea paint. That's good.
ReplyDeleteSeriously do the Red Hot Chili Peppers know about your son?
ReplyDelete"This pocket is where my ninja gets his hot dogs".
I could so see Kiedis spittin' that
and Flea going ape-shit on the bass-line
Yeah..and the innocence could never last in the time of dinosaurs..that's pure MGMT
get your kids an agent..pronto
Peace ~ Rene
I seriously need to get some of that light tape - it would keep Princess Nagger occupied for hours. And where was that Idea Paint when I needed it most? As in when PN was deciding paper was too small a canvas to create art and expanded to the floors... walls... doors... toilets. Yes, toilets.
ReplyDeleteAnd I LOVE "The innocence can never last in the time of dinosaurs." Out of the mouth of babes! And Princess Nagger would absolutely agree. ;)
I see I'm late to the party, but I had to say...
ReplyDeleteI love the shit kids say!
I need me one of those bikes... That and the comedy genius provided by children :0)
ReplyDelete"My willpower is much like a pipe cleaner, soft and flexible."
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHAHA!!! That's the funniest thing I've read in a while.
We saw the idea paint when we were thinking about ideas for LG's room. How cool would it have been to have a dry erase room??? It's expensive, though. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteThat's where his ninja gets his hotdogs, huh? You'll have to write that one down so he can use it in college...
that's weird. we've been debating idea tape in our 8yos room for a while now.
ReplyDeleteSmoothies arrn't good for dinner. I've never seen tape like that, and your son had me laughing:"Connor: This pocket is where my ninja gets his hot dogs"
ReplyDeleteI've been under the weather and you have added a lot to your blog I will be back.

Damnit, your linky for idea paint isn't working. Hook me up. I love the shit your kids say. It's truly entertaining.
ReplyDeletedon't starve yourself, you'll need all that
ReplyDeleteenergy to keep up with the your kids lines.
Think u have 2 budding stand up comedians or
philospher's there.
We've just aquired some "silver bullets."
No, they are not a new enema package, they
are individual smoothie makers. yum...
I love the quotes. What imaginations. My six year old neighbor always has gems like that - but my favorite so far was, "do you like my pinecone? It's just any pinecone...it helps me predict the weather."
ReplyDeletelight tape???
ReplyDeleteI think I'm in love.
How much do you love me, Cap'n? I just tagged you with a meme.
ReplyDeleteIdea paint is amazing. Seriously. I want to paint our whole basement in it.
ReplyDeleteI nominated you for the Blogger award on my site.

Paint 1 wall of your kids' room with idea paint. You'll be set for life with blog material so it is a good investment
ReplyDeleteI need a hot dog pocket too, and some light tape.
ReplyDeleteBehind every great blogger is at LEAST one kid. or 24.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, I want idea paint so bad! But that said, I wonder what would be involved in turning a wall of my office into a giant chalkboard?
ReplyDeleteLight tape?! Where do I sign up?! HEY - I just noticed your tweet about me. Aw, thank you! SO KIND. I was wondering how all those folks found me again. As always, you are a scholar and a hairy gentleman. Wait...
ReplyDeleteI say it all the time; kids are genius.
ReplyDeleteme: you need to be quiet and focused in class. your brain needs to be like a sponge while Mrs. G is talking.
E: why? her words are not like water.
That is the best thing I've ever heard (or in this case, read) a child say. He's awesome.
ReplyDeleteAs always a smorgesbord of great Randomness. Never quit this Cap'n
ReplyDeleteMy diet sounds a lot like yours.
ReplyDeleteThe FOUR YEAR OLD said that? I'm astounded!
Now I think I'll go play with the light tape...
I've seen chalkboard paint but not whiteboard paint. So. Cool.
ReplyDeleteThat idea paint looks way cooler than the shit they sell at home depot. Don't waste your money on that, it doesn't work.
ReplyDeleteScrew you getting a book deal, I think your kids need to try for one.
