My Three Year Old Sings About Rum and Rock Monsters

Started by goodwordediting · 9 months ago

Does that make me a bad father? The children’s ministry told me about it kindly on Sunday morning. “Your son taught us  a new song,” they said.
My son broke out into song right there…

“Fifteen men on a dead manR ... Continue reading »

    Too funny! But not nearly as bad as what my daughter likes to sing and do. Remember that old song, "Shake, Shake, Shake..." Well, you can probably figure it out.

    BTW, I had to move you off the WI webring a while ago because the code monster found no code on your blog. I can send you a new one. And do you have a Feedblitz/feedburner on this blog so I can subscribe. I never check bloglines, but if it comes to my email, I read it!

    Marcus, I'm reminded of the time in a worship service when the leader said, "Now let's lift up prayers honoring God's holiness" and my son, about five years old, shouted, "Thank you Jesus that I could see the Godzilla movie today!"

    Great. Now I have that song stuck in my head.
    I'm impressionable when it comes to music.

    Heather, try listening to the CD on loop as you drive across Texas. Then it will REALLY get stuck in your head.

    Mark, your comment reminded me of this old post about Godzilla Jesus. Lo and behold, there's our same conversation. There's nothing new under the sun, I guess. And I'm reminded how thankful I am that you are on board now.

    Gina, thanks for the reminder about WI. I forget to do my blog chores sometimes. My daughter was singing something like "Shake, shake your booty" just yesterday. I had nothing to do with that one.

    Phil Vischer is on my "to meet in my lifetime" list. After reading his autobiography last year I gained great appreciation for the labor and love that goes into Veggie Tales.

    Good to see you posting again.

    Loved it!

    Makes me remember the time that my Christopher, then about 7, now about 32, was approached by our pastor. He was small, round and very, very serious (and an excellent expositor of the Word!). He leaned down to shake hand with Christopher, who preceeded to give him a sideways high-five just as hard as he could manage (he, his dad and older brother used this as a method of "trading licks") Can you even imagine the look on the very gentle and dignified pastor's face? He didn't hardly know what a high 5 was; I thought I might die and my tombstone would read, "worst mom ever!"

    "But the Disney pirate movies are no good for my kids."

    I'm finding that I don't allow my kids to watch most Disney movies. It sure has changed since we were kids.

    So, when you met Bob, did you ketchup on things?

    Carl, thanks. It's good to be missed! Phil and I didn't talk much, but he seemed like a good guy.

    Susan, no worries about the speling erors. This is al justg oode conversaations tuff, in the comments sectionss. I like the image of your kids giving the pastor a side-five. That's fun.

    Eve, we have an interview with the head of Disney Parks coming up and I've heard that Disney is really committing to family movies again. Letting their independent film sections go, that sort of thing.

    L.L., oh no.

    Actually, it looks like I'll be spending the rest of my life trying to catch up.

    It would have been pretty funny if he had any idea what was going on. He was just kindly leaning over to shake hands with a little fellow! Boy did he get a surprise!

    Nothing wrong with a dancing rock monster, now is there?

    My six year old's review of Pirates Who Don't Do Anything:

    It's fun, it's funny, and it's cool!

    What an endorsement. I'd like to meet Phil Vischer too.

    Our family were big fans of the Veggie Tales stuff in the early days. The kids are older now and less interested, so I've gotten out of touch. I remember when the Pirates Who Don't Do Anything was one of their silly songs. Wow, not it's a movie.
