Why I heart Spongebob

Wax on.

Soen's new favorite expression is "Oh, barnacles!" This, from Spongebob, replaces, and is used in the same way as, "D'oh!" I always loved when he would say "d'oh!" but "barnacles" is way funnier because it takes more effort to say and is clearly not just an automatic exclamation.

Spongebob (a karate nut) is also responsible for Soen's new found love for martial arts. The other day we were watching dinosaur videos on YouTube and he said, "Daddy, I wanna watch Jackie Chan!" I nearly wept with joy.

Wife, surprisingly, was less enthused: "Do you really think it's a good thing to teach our three-year-old son the five fingers of death?" I now know that was a rhetorical question, but at the time I said, "Hey, he even does the sound effects! Hello?"

Scott, you are in trouble now! When does he start Karate class, or maybe a more peaceful Martial (oxymoron) art?

We were thinking about Tae Kwon Do, but we'll have to wait until our schedules clear up a bit.

Scott: start with Tai Chi please and leave it at that. He'd be a natural. And don't forget the preschool is trying to discourage this type of behaviour!

Is he cleaning the refrigerator? Way to go Mom! love Dee Dee
