Playing hockey in Daddy's hockey jersey (a dress for Geddy).We have discovered another way Geddy is like his Daddy. He loves to quote funny sayings from movies or TV shows, or even just create his own catch-phrases. For example, he and Scott watch the new Star Wars Clone Wars cartoon on Cartoon Network. Geddy thinks the voices are hilarious for the battle droids.
At least once an episode a battle droid will say "Roger Roger" in response to some command from General Grievous. Geddy laughs his head off every time. So now he likes to say it to us, trying to imitate the tone of voice as well.
Ready for Church, practicing his dance moves to show-off for the girls in nursery.
Another show that Scott and Geddy watch is an old, practically unheard of, show from the early 70's called "The Hilarious House of Frightenstein". Scott remembered this from when he was young and we tracked down the DVD collection through Amazon Canada. Parts of the show are very familiar to me, so maybe I saw it too as a kid. Anyway, there is a character in it that is like a wildlife explorer or something and he always says "Ooga Booga" with a bit of an accent. Geddy loves it and frequently pops his head around a doorway just to say, "Ooga Booga".

Pretending to be Spanky (our cat) playing with the shoestring.My personal favorite, though not from any show, is "Just Gas". A few months ago Geddy was emitting some pretty powerful odors so I asked him if he had poopy pants. He quickly responded with, "No, just gas". I admit, I laughed pretty hard because I wasn't expecting that answer. Since then he uses "just gas" to answer any and all questions. I will ask him what he wants to eat, "Just gas" is his reply. 
"Look Mama, has a zipper".
Or if you have been one of the lucky few to talk to him on the phone, he will usually greet you, "Hi! Just gas!" He also uses it in place of "just joking". He will say he has an ow or he is tired. I will start to do something to remedy that situation and he will laugh and say "Just Gas". If only I hadn't found it so funny the first time, he probably would have never said it again.

That is hilarious! And that outfit is darling.
That outfit looks great on him! I knew it was more his coloring than Nathaniel's :) I don't remember the name of that show, but I remember something about an Ooga Booga Man...I'll have to search it later when I have more 'net time. I laughed at the "Roger roger"...Joshua did (and sometimes still does) that from the movies with the battle droids...accent and everything. Must be a line that just clicks with little boys for some reason. I just asked Joshua, didn't you say something the battle droids in Star Wars would say and he immediately said, "Roger roger!" (I'd never realized where that came from, just knew he said it!)
What a stylin' guy! Looking good with his little white turtleneck and tan suit...snazzy! And what lovely new phrases for you to enjoy...! heheeh. PS, thanks so much for the ride today! You're great!
