Our kids are adding to their vocabularies every day through the wonders of Disney. Sleeping Beauty brought us “You pompous windbag!” and “love’s first kiss” (muttered for a while there after each kiss from Mommy).

Hercules has taught them things they don’t even understand. I once overheard Logan pretending to be trapped under a couch cushion and shouting, “Call IXII!” I was five minutes into an explanation of the Roman numeral system before I noticed his glazed expression (or as we say in Silicon Valley, “screen saver face.") and finally dropped the subject.

The Little Mermaid has given us wonderful, French-accented exclamations. That chef… he’s such a nut. A violent nut, but still. He appeals.

Logan: [curled up on couch with tummy ache and fever]
Gil: “Buddy? Would you like me to bring dinner in here so you can stay comfortable and keep watching your movie?”
Logan: “Oui.”
Gil: [pause] “Did you just say, ‘Oui?’”
Logan: “It’s a dumb word.”

After watching “Mulan”, all I heard was “Who spit in your bean curd?”

Bwahahahahahahaha!!  I made the mistake of letting my three year old watch one of the Austin Powers movies with me.  Imagine what I heard for weeks.

Have any of you watched Courage the cowardly dog? or is it Cow and chicken? Does the term “SHUT YER PIEHOLE!!!” mean anything to you? I had to hear it for ages,said to no one in particular, followed by a mad, yet gleeful cackle of my 9 year old Arianna. egad!

Another question. Has anyone paid attention to the theme song to Cow and Chicken? Unfortunately, I DID (cause I thought I was imagining).  “.....Mom had a chicken, mom had a cow.... Dad was so proud, he didn’t care how!!!!” WHAT THE FREAKIN HELL??? Also, the dad is a cross-dresser. boggles the mind.
