Cool As A Cucumber
Zoe’s Daily Funny:
I remember getting into the car about a month ago but before getting in I asked the hubs to go find my Spirited Away dvd (since Zoe likes Ponyo I thought she’d like this as well). Boy comes back to the car with Spirited Away AND his Transformers: The Movie dvd. Ok so let me make this clear, I LOVE Transformers, okay? I just don’t like this particular movie. The ONLY reason is because of the soundtrack (Go ahead. Click on the sample.). It’s like that 80′s music crap! Hearts On Fire? Omigod shoot me. The Touch? POISON TO MY EARS HELLO! Honestly the music makes me cringe. Zoe however was HOOKED. I mean HOOOOOOKED. She basically told me that this movie got bumped up as being her FAVORITE movie. She even said the words “more than my princess dvd’s.” WHA-WHA-WHAT?! I mean I never wanted a girly-girl and I was in denial for the longest time but I’m now used to it. Now that she’s showing some interest in anything that boys like I really don’t mind but I DO mind this movie because I HATEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE the music. Some of you guys make think maybe this movie is a little too violent. You don’t know. She loves watch Tranformers: Revenge of the Fallen. I’ll say things like “I hate this music” and she’ll just sing back “Transformerssssssssssssssssssssssssss” in this little rock voice or she’ll respond “I like it. It’s cool.” Or her dad will chime in “Zoe you and I are cool cause we like this music and mommy has bad taste.” and Zoe’s all like “YEAH! Mommy’s not cool! This song is cool.” Girrrrl, I’m like a block of ice. I’m as cool as they come ya sassy punk child of mine.
So anyways we were at Dutch Wonderland over the Memorial Day weekend and we had just gotten done eating dinner. The hubs and Zoe wanted some ice cream. So we drove over to Friendly’s. The hubs parked the car and ran in while I stayed with the kids in the car. Zoe was in the backseat watching Transformers for like the BAJILLIONTH time. I thought “This is my chance! I need to hurry before the big one gets back!” So I turn around in my seat and look back and Zoe who is like TOTALLY into the movie…
Me: Zoe!
Zoe: Huh? (not even looking at me)
Me: Zoe, why do you like this movie so much?
Zoe: I don’t know. I just do. I just love it so much.
Me: Yeah I know but why? You don’t even really understand it all.
Zoe: I don’t know. I just like it.
Me: Yeah I know that but why?
Her eyes are glued to the monitor and she holds her palm out as to shush me and says…
Zoe: Mommy! Just calm down! Shhhh! I can’t hear the movie!
I have lost my little girl to the dark side. You have won this one Darth-Father. Whatever. I’m cool as a cucumber.

So our goldfish that we got from Lila’s birthday party are STILL alive! I know. I don’t know why. They should be dead, no? I mean I just dropped one on the floor while cleaning the water and that was like a week ago. Anyhoots, since they’re still around I figured Zoe and I should come up with some names. We picked the perfect ones for them…

it’s a good movie. hm. i never thought about the music while watching it.
did zoe like Spirited Away?
Yo, that fish water looks a little dirty. You trying to kill them or something?
They did not put Weird Al Yankovic in that movie…*sigh*. I’m sorry your hubs and Zoey like that movie >_< That must be terrible! On the plus side, you still have Kayden haha!
Good question, did Zoe like Spirted Away? That movie creeped me out for the longest time. It had to “grow” on me. But I thought Ponyo was kind of amusing. The current J watched that when he had knee surgery, granted he was on alot of pain killers, and liked it. He even gave me a synopsis on it. Yah lots of morphine…
Well K can be with you when he gets older on these “Daddy and Zoe vs. Mommy and Kayden”.
i cried when optimus died… we all did
hubs looooves transformers…and i agree the music is like nails on a chalkboard to me…at least he doesn’t make u listen to the soundtrack!!! AAAHHHHHH i love that zoe loves transformers…you should show her elita one, the leader of the female autobots! i know, i know too much about this stuff =P
@deux02 - oh so did the hubs. the way we introduced the movie to her was…
Me: Zoe you know who cried at this movie?
Zoe: Who?
Me: Ahbah
Zoe: He’s a crybaby.
Me: True dat.
@AnnaBanAnna - i do like that zoe likes transformers too though.. and yes he doesn’t make me listen to the soundtrack….he makes me listen to him singing the soundtrack. which is just as bad.
maybe even worse.
@AnnaBanAnna - oh and she’s already zoe’s favorite transformer. i can’t believe you know her name. i like the sound that they make when they transform.
seems like those little fishies have been around for a long time~ good job! what a sweet photo of your boys~ wish my little guy would sleep on a bed like that too.
Take Zoe to Knoebels. Read the reviews. It is so much cheaper because it’s pay per ride (or unlimited with wristband) and the food is really good. They have tons of kid rides, My daughter loved it…now that she is 42 inches tall she could go on the roller coasters, “I’m the bravest girl in the whole world.”
@luminate - maybe next summer? we’re taking a family trip to the 6flags indoor water park in july.
