Wall-E... He's a robot


Best of Cousins
Originally uploaded by Jagrap
Michael, like his father, is a very maternal male, and that behavior is evident in his interactions with his cousin Jake. One of the things that Michael and I wanted to do was to take Jake to his first feature film, and we selected the well scripted, "Kung Fu Panda." I sat to Jake's right, and Michael to his left. Everyone's highlight of the film was after the protagonist says, "there is no charge for awesomeness or attractiveness," Jake responded to the screen: "awesomeness!"

After the fireworks, Michael read Jake several "Wall-E" books based on the Pixar feature. Michael is into Wall-E at the moment, and he enjoys sharing his enthusiasms. Furthermore, small children should be read to, in his mind, and are, at the very least, a semi-captive audience. Jake knows nothing about robots, but seemed to enjoyed Michael's good night stories. Since their return to Massillon, I am told that Jake can't stop talking about Wall-E, and in Michael's diction he keeps telling people "Wall-E... He's a robot."
