Thumbelina (age 7): “Mom, when I’m older and in a band do you know what I’m going to call it?”
Thumbelina: (pauses for dramatic effect – then makes a sweeping hand gesture) "FIREBLADE.”
Mom: “That may be the most awesome thing I have ever heard.”
Thumbelina: ‘Yeah. I know. I love that name." (whispers in awestruck voice) "FIREBLADE.”
Hawk (age 5): “When I’m in band when I’m older, do you know what I’m going to call it?”
Mom: “What?”
Hawk: “Go Yoda.”
Thumbelina: “I actually really like that.”
Mom: “I love it.”
Hawk: “It has a dot at the end. Like at the end of a sentence. Go Yoda.”Mom: “That makes me like it more.”
Hawk: “We are the Champions” and other awesome songs like that.
Mom: (pauses to let this idea sink in) “I think you’re both going to be rock stars.”
Hawk and Thumbelina look at each other and shrug.
Hawk: “Duh.”

awesome. your kids are amazing at coming up with band names. I would totally listen to bands called fireblade and go yoda. rofl
ReplyDeleteLOVE. LOVE. LOVE. And I also love how some of the best conversations with my kids happen in the car or when I'm putting them to bed.
ReplyDeleteThat is the funniest f*cking thing I heard all day too!!! Gotta love those 7 and 5 year olds (I have the same).
ReplyDeleteMy son (the 5 year old) while cutting his finger nails. He: "I wish I was Yoda!" Me: "Why is that?" He: "Cause he only has three fingers and he would be done cutting his nails already!" ;)
Hubby tries to come up with cool band names all the time, but your kids did a much better job than he ever does. (I think he agrees!)
ReplyDeleteDuh! LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteROFL!!! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWeird Al has a song about Yoda. :) Perhaps he'll sing the cover of that.
ReplyDeleteYour. Kids. Rock.
ReplyDeleteLove kids. Hilarious
ReplyDeleteOne of of my coworkers kids informed that he was going to be in a band called "Guns for Breakfast"... his dad then informed me that he was renaming the college fund "bail money".
ReplyDeleteLol Go Yoda. reminds me of the yoda song... Has he seen it? It's a parody of the llama song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7gC9RL2JMg&feature=youtube_gdata_player

We have a budding rock star too. His band doesn't have a name yet, but he can contribute two songs. The first one is called "Banana Baseball Bat". The second is called "But I'm a Rock Star". I think they could both totally be about Yoda.
ReplyDeleteI voted. I also love the band names.
ReplyDeleteHere's Weird Al's Yoda

Love it!
Holy hell. That Yoda w/ the guitar picture TOTALLY looks like that weird guy in Motley Crue, Mick Mars. And suddenly it makes sense. Yoda AND Mick Mars, that is.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter (9) said she is just waiting for the black eyed peas to die, and then she will start a band and call them ... black eyed peas :)
