| Star Wars according to a 3 year old. |
 |
02/26/08 Update: Wow. What was expected to
be a short movie that would circulate within
a small circle of friends has turned into
something much more very quickly. I'm
thrilled that so many people have enjoyed
this video but also somewhat mortified that I
added this without my daughter's knowledge or
consent. Maybe someday she will find some
humor in it.
Comments: Have been disabled. I think they
have run their course. To those who have
sent positive comments, thank you very much.
You've made us appreciate what we have even
more than we already do. To those of you
who've said you've changed your mind about
having children, well, have at it. :)
Business inquiries/agents: Thanks for your
interest. At the current time we have no
intention of exposing our little one to the
destroyer of youth that is the entertainment
industry (with the exception of Star Wars,
heh). Hopefully if she chooses to follow
this path on her own someday she will find a
door still open for her.
Other things:
She has never seen Pokemon so I don't think
she's making a reference to the ball on that
show. I think she just means pokey ball as
in "a ball that is pokey." (And yes, I know
what the pokey balls really are! Stop
emailing :) )
Three year olds can't read. I'm sure there
are exceptions to that rule.
-------------------------------------
Here is my daughter, age 3, explaining the
plot of Star Wars Episode IV.
She explained the whole movie to me in much
greater detail but unfortunately I didn't
have the camera going. When I finally caught
her talking about the movie again she
delivered this truncated, but still funny,
version.
Edit: Thank you all for the nice comments.
Maybe I will print them out for her and
someday and when she's all growed up she'll
get to read them herself.
A little more about the video: She wasn't
coached to say anything, nor was she forced
to make the video. She rarely stops talking.
Those of you with children understand this:
sometimes it's harder to turn the faucet off
than to turn the faucet on.
Believe it or not, she has the seem the movie
only once, and I spread it out over 3 days so
it wouldn't be too much all at once for her.
The video was edited to make it shorter, more
cohesive and hopefully funnier. I did move
some of the lines around so it would make
more sense.

| Simon & Garfunkel - Old Friends |
 |
From my personal favorite concert in Central
Park, Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel singing
Old Friends. The vocals are just amazing.
Someone requested the lyrics, so here they
are:
OLD FRIENDS LYRICS:
Old friends,
Old friends
Sat on their park bench
Like bookends.
A newspaper blown though the grass
Falls on the round toes
Of the high shoes
Of the old friends.
Old friends,
Winter companions,
The old men
Lost in their overcoats,
Waiting for the sunset.
The sounds of the city,
Sifting through trees,
Settle like dust
On the shoulders
Of the old friends.
Can you imagine us
Years from today,
Sharing a park bench quietly?
How terribly strange
To be seventy.
Old friends,
Memory brushes the same years
Silently sharing the same fears
BOOKENDS LYRICS:
Time it was and what a time it was it was,
A time of innocence a time of confidences.
Long ago it must be, I have a photograph
Preserve your memories, theyre all thats left
you
59TH STREET BRIDGE SONG (FEELIN' GROOVY)
LYRICS:
Slow down, you move too fast.
You got to make the morning last.
Just kicking down the cobble stones.
Looking for fun and feelin' groovy.
Ba da, Ba da, Ba da, Ba da...Feelin' Groovy.
Hello lamp-post,
What cha knowin'?
I've come to watch your flowers growin'.
Ain't cha got no rhymes for me?
Doot-in' doo-doo,
Feelin' groovy.
I've got no deeds to do,
No promises to keep.
I'm dappled and drowsy and ready to sleep.
Let the morning time drop all its petals on
me.
Life, I love you,
All is groovy.
