With a rebel yell..she cries "I wanna see Billy Idol."

So, Isaac has been waaaaaay into the song "Dancing With Myself" by our dear friend Billy Idol. This obsession began with the opening scene of the movie "Flushed Away" and ever since, Isaac has been the song's number one fan (and I can't blame him).

Needless to say, we listen to the song and/or watch the video 20 times a day, and tonight was no exception. While watching the video for the second time, we had the following conversation:

Isaac: Where does Billy Idol live?
Me: London, I think.
Isaac: I wanna go visit him. AND I wanna see Billy Idol.
Me: Well, he lives pretty far away.
Isaac: But I wanna go meet Billy Idol and hear the song. Can we go there in 4 days, please??? I really wanna go to Billy Idol's house. I really wanna go see him and talk to him about questions.
Me (with brain on the floor): OK. We'll see. OK?

Seriously, he never ceases to amaze me. He clearly knows what he wants, and that is an elderly man with bleach-blond hair who is willing to answer questions and sing some songs. Not too much to ask, I don't think.

Currently blasting: Billy Idol-"Dancing With Myself"

Puttin' on the Ritz

Me: Hey, Isaac. How many bounty hunters can you name?
Isaac: Um...Boba Fett.
Me: Yup.
Isaac: Jango Fett.
Me: Uh huh.
Isaac: Greedo.
Me: Uh huh.
Isaac: Gamorrean guards?
Me: They're not bounty hunters.
Isaac: Bib Fortuna?
Me: No. I don't think he is either.
Isaac: Um...uh...Taco?
Me: There's no one named "Taco."
Isaac: (very sheepishly): Yes there is.
Me: No there isn't.
Isaac (laughing uncontrollably): Yes there is!!

This went on for about a minute.

That's My Boy!!!

I'm not sure why I haven't put this together years ago when my son started saying awesome things, but luckily, it is not too late. This blog will be used to document all the incredible things that Isaac (almost 5 yrs old) says.

For anyone reading this who doesn't already know my son, he is a Star Wars enthusiast who loves to skateboard, draw and engage in anything super-hero related. To put things into perspective, I'm not concerned with the idea of him becoming a teenager. The thought of Isaac someday having a girlfriend that I dislike hasn't even crossed my mind. Him getting a license, going to college, becoming a fan of Nickelback, etc etc, are of no concern to me at this time. Where my worry lies is over the thought of Isaac creating a gigantic death-ray and holding "bad guys" hostage. Or becoming one of those cats who lives life as if he (or to a lesser extend, she)is actually a character from Star Wars. That would be a drag. Nothing else he could do would disappoint me more that if he became some kind of super-villain/hero or a weirdo. I'd still love him, but it would be difficult. I'm kidding, of course.

My son is an incredible little man who says and does some of the most entertaining things anyone could ever imagine. And here is where you can read all about them.
