Thank you Indiana Jones

My 4yr old is obsessed with Indiana Jones. He has been for a while. I don't remember exactly when or how it all started, but I think it was last year some time. Now that I'm really thinking about it, it must have been early last summer, because the first time this (unbelievably accident prone) son ended up with stitches, he was happy he'd have a scar "Just like Indy does!" Whatever. This is the child that will have multiple scars. *sigh*

This boy constantly walks around with the IJ theme song going on. Humming, "duh, duh, duh-DUH!"-ing, and even singing.

What, you didn't know the IJ theme music had words?

It does. They are as follows... *ahem*

"Indiana, Jo-oh-ones

Indiana! Jo-oh-oh-oh-ones

Indiana Jo-oh-ones!

Indiana-iana-iana,ianah-ah Jones!"

Lovely, no?

This kid even got the Indiana Jones Action figure for his birthday.

Complete with whip cracking sounds that go off when you push the button that makes his arm swing (and thus swing the whip).

(But he still makes the sound effects on his own as well)

Cool. Had to fight Dad for that one after the grandparents left.

So why does this subject come up today?

Well, today said child was hanging out with his shirt off and walking around with a jump rope in tow as a whip. He's swinging "by my whip Mom!" from the playground, as he hums his theme song.

And then, from my sweet little 4yr old I hear, "C'mon then! Let's get the HELL out of here!"

"Uh, what did you just say?"

"I said 'Let's get the HELL...."

"Where did you learn that son?"

"Mo-om, it's on Indiana Jones!"

So thank you Indiana Jones. For giving my son a theme song, an imagination boost, and teaching him a new word. Thanks a lot.
