Obed's New Hat

There are some movies from which the lines just become part of our everyday language. For instance, rarely is a bag of tortilla chips opened without Vince or I saying that these are indeed holy cheeps. Or if I might prepare an awesome dinner of pancakes or PB&J, Vince will call to the boys, “Tina, come get your ham.” (Of course, none of this makes any sense to you, nor is it funny at all, if you are not a fan of Nacho Libre or Napoleon Dynamite). Just tonight, Ezra had on his long underwear pajamas and I told him that when you are a man, sometimes you wear stretchy pants… it’s for fun. After a rough day, Vince will often comfort me by telling me not be jealous that he was chatting online with babes all day, since we both know he’s training to be a cage fighter.

Today was a movie quote in real life as we were preparing to head out the door. Maybe his head was cold? Maybe he’s 2 and wants to be in control and this was a power struggle? Maybe he’s just Obed and he’s goofy and strange and all together fun? No matter what the reason, Obed insisted today that his undies were actually a hat and left the house, in order to run errands, with his new hat on his head. Maybe Obed has heard us quote Raising Arizona a few too many times? But today, we were able to truly say, “Son, you’ve got a pantie on your head” and mean it.
