The Daily Show
I have lots to write about, since we haven’t blogged in awhile, but I have to start with the Daily Show.
Last week we were watching the Democratic Convention and then right afterwards watched part of the Daily Show (at 8 PM). Colin was still up and he knows who Jon Stewart is so he wanted to watch it. They were in Denver and all the correspondents were reporting as though they were in beer commercials (check out: Daily Show Aug 26th). Then right after Jon Stewart was making fun of James Carville – Colin just thought Jon Stewart was hilarious.
The next day he begged to see it again so I let him watch it online – here is the video. Since then he will just pull out a “What’sssssss uuuuuupppppp” or “and Twins (said in the Coors light way)” or a “I’m tapping the Rockies” and his timing is perfect. Holden has also jumped on the bandwagon. Yesterday I asked him to tell me a joke and he goes “Waaa-ahhhhhhhh” – meaning “What’ssssss uuuuppppp” in Holden speak.
We have been watching and talking about all things election recently. I am so into it now I can’t stop. During the convention (we watched both) Colin stayed up to watch some of it with us. Here were his observations: During Hillary’s speech – “Hillary Clinton has a lot to say.” and “Obama has been talking for a long time, he must be president now.” He also told us a joke in the car the other day (Grandma should appreciate this because she heard his “jokes” this summer) – he said “Hey I have a joke about the presidents. McCain is dirty and Obama is clean.” We told him that wasn’t really a joke
I will have to post a blog about our summer vacation, which was a blast. Colin also had his first sleepover last night. His friend Matthew spent the night after they spent the whole day together. They had a great time.
We are off to the Mariners-Yankees game tomorrow and the weather is supposed to be great – should be fun.
i didn’t see that daily show…it was hilarious…especially the Whassupp part.
Did I tell you that at the brunch at Karen’s Colin told that joke to Theo and Theo LAUGHED HIS HEAD OFF. So maybe we’re just not sophisticated enough to get it.
Jessica-
I’m leaving a comment on your website, because I wanted you to pass a big “Happy Birthday” wish to Colin. Tell him it’s from Joe and Jacqueline…We hope he enjoyed his day!
