My son's awesomeness revealed!

[GreenDragon]

My (soon to be) 5 year old son keeps proving his awesomeness. Last night I was looking through some of my old stuff in search of some boxes for a couple of Reds bobbleheads (we're moving, have to pack) when I came across some of my toys that I kept in a box.

Contents of the box:
- wrestlers (still in the boxes) Al Snow (wwe figure that was yanked from the shelves), and Vampiro.
- A Wolverine action figure from when I was 10.
- All 6 Voltron Third Dimension figures (still in the boxes) a miniature Voltron and a larger Voltron (the kind where you put him together!)

He immediately asks me to take the wrestlers out of their boxes. Not going to happen. I give him Wolverine. His eyes pop out of his head when he sees the big Voltron. "Dad! What is THAT?"

Long story short, after telling him of Voltron's awesomeness, the kid inherits the smaller Voltron and now I'm hunting for Voltron DVD's.

That is VERY COOL. My son is only 5 months, so he could care less. Can't wait for that age.

Maybe it's the start of a grass-roots Voltron comeback. I wonder if I still have my Thundercats...

VOLTRON! I used to have the yellow lion, my brother the red and my cousin the black. Too bad we were a few relatives short of the whole thing!

I am WAY too old for Voltron, but my son once watched it. I remember the opening; see here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uS5b8aQ6z8

I was more of a Roy Rogers (aka Leonard Slye from the Sons of the Pioneers) and Lone Ranger kind of guy.

BTW, your son is indeed aweson.

Most sons are. Especially, grand-sons. Ha.

Well, 12 hours after posting this, the little negotiator convinces me to let him play with the big voltron. 30 minutes later the black lion is broken. Fortunately by me as I was trying to remove the red lion from the black lion. Better me than him.
