in all my 34 years....
The movie, Ice Age, had practically found a permanent home in our mini-van's DVD player. The kids loved & I could tolerate hearing it from the driver's seat.
So, each time we were on the road a lengthy amount of time, I'd press play & the kids were in movie heaven (poor little tv-deprived babies).
Between their opportunity to memorize this movie, added to that their inherited (from hot hubs) skill to burn parts of movies to their little brains, they can walk around & quote parts of this movie. And thank goodness, the parts are funny & easy on the ears.
I guess with Gabe having a speech delay, I have expectations on him that are -- shall we say, adapted. And because of that, when he does something spectacular, it completely knocks my socks off. And plus, he's still my baby (well, he always will be, even when he's not 2).
So, when these two, polishing off mugs (I know, weird, but the whole plastic thing has me freaked out enough to have pushed all their little kiddy bowls to the back of the cabinet) of pasta, started Ice Age dialogue... I started throwing roses at them. (whew, sorry for the world's longest run-on sentence there).
And it wasn't enough that one of them would take one part & the other be the 2nd character....and that they used annunciation, accents, & hand motions; but that after the 30-second BIalogue, THEY SWITCHED PARTS.
I. kid. you. not.
And so, first thing tomorrow morning, I'm calling St Louis Actors' Guild, to see how young they take them.

Oooh, we've not seen it. We will have to, based on that rave review!!
Switching parts, SO impressive. Who "started that", could you tell?
And MUGS of pasta. Great idea!!! I have a ton of little Pampered Chef prep bowls that I use, but they are a little small. And quite a few large, adult ceramic bowls. But mugs is a truly great idea! Did you come up with that on your own? Totally stealing it, k? Plastic=icky.
