Toddler Adventures: The Makings of a Drama King

[jukebox_csi]

So, I was trying to relax on this chilly afternoon, and my 5yo decides to have a meltdown over something he was working on. I look up and he's all "AAAARRGGH". Well, being the big nerd I am, my mind immediately flashes back to the time my hubby and I watched Star Trek II The Wrath of Khan, and the infamous "KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN" scene.



Suddenly, an idea came up, which sent me in a bout of giggles. I called the boy over and {it took me a few minutes to coach him because I couldn't stop laughing} told him to run into the den where daddy was, hold up both fists, grit his teeth and yell "KHAAAAAAAN". As it played out, I could hear my husband burst out laughing in the other room.

Well, not to be out-geeked, he immediately coached the boy to run back into me and yell "I NEED WARP SPEED NOW SCOTTIE". *grins*

But, I got the final word in, by sending him back to yell "I'M GIVIN' IT ALL SHE'S GOT, CAPTAIN".

I crack my own self up. :D

Wrath of Khan references FTW! The closest story I have to that is when I taught my 2 year old to say "Master! Master!" ala Metallica's "Master of Puppets." My husband thought it was hysterical.

I'm beginning to feel deprived because I don't have a kid to program.

That's awesome..It's so fun seeing what we can make our kids do ;)

Just this weekend my husband had my oldest daughter (7) ask me who I thought Kate should be with - either Jack or Sawyer :)
