  Truly DA related

So, I'm sitting at the dinner table tonight with my four-year-old Ethan and suddenly he:

Points to the ground and says, "Darn floor."

It sounded like he said, "nada floor!"

I said, "What!?!"

Again he points at the carpet. "Darn floor"

Then he lifts his fork high and continues, "Big bite!"

sniff I'm so DAmb proud...

And of course as a loving father you said: "And if you don't take some big bites outta your dinner, then I'll knock YOU to the darn floor."

  No faking here, Tim

Ethan has been singing DA songs since he was two. DFBB has always been his fave. Of course when Terry, Derri and Mike are standing there, and we coax, "Tell Terry what your favorite song is..." Ethan answers, "Wall of Doubt." Can't lose, I suppose.

Ethan won't go to sleep at night unless his fave music is playing. Presently it is "Best of the Lost Dogs". Can't lose there either!

Since he was two, he stands with his back against a wall, does the Who thing with an air-guitar and sings along with Uncle Terry!

i think i would have to beat my daughter to get her to listen to DA. It is one of the few wonderful things that i can not share with her. Brenneth "tolerates" the boys. He was blaring Third Day last night, a CD he won from CCM radio.

  Follow up...

And so, on the way to toddler school today, Ethan says to his Mamma in the van:

"I want to tell Papa's friend Terry and Tiny Tim (meaning Chandler) about Darn Floor Big Bite."

sorry Tim. I tried to explain you to him last night as the guy makes the (vocal insert of bass line). He thought that was great, but he obviously has never beheld your stature!
