In preparation for the second movie of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows coming out, our family (minus Davy and Andy) watched the DVD of part one the other night. Katie and I went to bed before it was over, so the next day at dinner, we were talking about it. Rosie said her favorite part was when Luna's Dad was telling the story of the 3 Brothers and how the Deathly Hallows came to be. She told Katie about how the brothers met death and each requested something: the resurrection stone, the invisibility cloak, and the ELDERLY wand.
Next we started talking about the child Voldemort, Tom Riddle.
Davy (6) piped up and said "are you talking about the guy who's like DARK VADER ?"
I love Harry Potter and I love the Elderly wand. Dark Vader is a better name for that character. It reminds me of when my son, 3 years old, and in the bathtub, was singing "Hot frogs buns, hot frogs buns..." It was just before Easter, so I suggested perhaps he meant to sing "hot cross buns." "No," he replied with certainty. "Mrs. Fort (his preschool teacher) sings about hot frogs buns." We need to remember these mis-heard words when we need a laugh.
ReplyDeleteI love your story, Janice! I keep a notebook of these fun sayings. When Pete was 5, he took a soccer class at the Y with "Coach Cake", which was what he insisted Coach Kate was saying!
