Well tonight, he reminds me, "Don't forget the Cello vitamin." I don't, I set it in front of him on the side of the bathtub (we always take them at bath-time, so we don't forget). He looks at it. Really looks at it and then says, "These aren't violins. These are people." I said, "I know, they're the Flinstones." He said, "The what?" "The Flinstones." pause for crinkle in forehead "Who are they?"
sigh.....
Two sad things:
1. He won't call them cello vitamins any more.
2. He has no idea who the Flinstones are because they are OLD like me.

Ha! For some reason this totally tickled my funny bone. His realization just cracks me up! I wonder if he is disappointed to know they resemble something(one) he is not at all familiar with. Also, that he knows what a cello is impresses me.
Ha Ha! Okay. I have to admit...I didn't read it as "cello" but as in "cellophane". Oops! Brilliant that he knows what a cello is...

The fact that your son knows the word 'cello' is impressive to me.
I do grieve with you that he will never yell "Yabba dabba doo" across the playground. Or holler "Wilmaaaa!" down the stairs.
That was really funny... How did he know what a cello was? I'm quite impressed. I love the words that kids assign to things. And you're totally right - it's sad when they stop doing that. But he'll replace that funnyism with something else, I'm sure! :)
Good news! Walker (12 years old now) found the Flinstones at a friend's house on the Boomerang channel. He has bought several episodes for his iPod touch and watches them over and over again. See! They are still cool! This somehow makes me feel less old.
