So I'm feeling grouchy and stomping around the house one day and my son comes up to me and says, "You're a grumpy old troll." I was like, "So what if I am? Wait, what?" How did he ever learn that? Then I saw "Dora" the other day and she and Boots (the monkey)(don't ask) had to cross a bridge but a "grumpy old troll" was blocking their way. I don't know if Dominic really used that phrase because I was looking grouchy or because he had just been watching Dora. Either way, if the shoe fits....
Then we're sitting there at dinner one night and Brian expressed his disappointment about something. We all agreed that it was too bad. Dominic, looking down at some food he wasn't sure he wanted to try, chimed in with, "Oh, well, Hakuna Matata." We all cracked up. Dominic was quoting a scene from the Lion King where Simba doesn't want to eat a bug, but deciding he will eat it says, "Oh, well, Hakuna Matata." Dominic said it because he didn't want to try the chicken but was going to anyway. The funny thing was it fit in with Brian's disappointment, and Dominic hadn't even intended that.
Dominic is probably the only two year old to have seen Ghostbusters, but he has (and yes, it has caused nightmares)(don't ask). So he likes to listen to the song by Ray Parker, Jr. There's a line that says "when there's something strange in your neighborhood, who you gonna call? Ghostbusters." So we were driving home and Dominic started pointing to each house on our block and asking me if there were ghosts inside. I told him, no, there weren't. He thought about it. We went inside. He turns to me and says, "There's no ghosts in our neighborhood." I didn't even know he knew what a neighborhood was! I can't wait for Cameron to talk.
