un and I were at Target this weekend...well 'cause I can't stay out of that store. And on the way up to pay, I spy the Sandlot DVD. Hmmm...we'd decided to be homebodies on Saturday night so I picked it up and decided to entertain myself watching Tayshaun experience THE BEAST.What a riot for me!!!! I'd forgotten how great this flick was but watching it through the eyes of a five year old boy was priceless. OH MY GOSH!
We get home from Target and throw the DVD in while we go about our business of putting away shoes, popping popcorn, etc. I'd opened a puzzle and had put it on the kitchen table for Tayshaun to play around with while watching the Sandlot. I'd had every intention of reading my book while Tayshaun tinkered and watched his new DVD. But after he started watching it, he was spellbound and giggling almost immediately. Before long, he'd moved down to the family room and I moved down there with him.
We settled in and really started paying attention to the show. It was hilarious re-watching this adventure of baseball buddies in their treehouse sleep-ins, their prank on Wendy the desirous lifeguard at the local pool, the vomiting scene on the twirly ride at the carnival while chewing tobacco, their baseball game with their rival ball team....and last but not least, "the pickle" they found themselves in with the legendary ball-eating dog called THE BEAST.
Tayshaun was sure THE BEAST was a dinosaur. And he seemed a little deflated when he saw the "actual" beast. But we both jumped with every attempt those boys made to retrieve their "Babe Ruth" baseball that Smalls had hit over the fence.
But the parts we had to rewind a half a dozen times were the bantering between the "Ham" and the rival baseball team member- during the baseball game challenge and also behind the homeplate "during" the game. HILARIOUS! Problem is, I think Tayshaun's teachers might get a little mad when they start hearing him use some of these terms:
pee drinker... crap face... scab eater... butt sniffer... pus licker.... fart smeller... buffalo butt breath...
You're killing me, Smalls!
You eat dog crap for breakfast.
You mix your wheaties with your mamas toe jam....
If I had a dog as ugly as you, I'd shave his butt and tell him to walk backwards.
Is that your sister out there in left field naked?
YOU PLAY BALL LIKE A GIRL!
Tayshaun tried that one on me this morning....well it didn't really have the same affect.
Great movie!!!!
