"Wranglers lead the way"
My son did it again.
My wife and the kids are on vacation and while they were down in Texas my son watched his favorite movie, BlackHawk Down, a couple times. All of a sudden he started saying "Wranglers lead the way" every time he would walk into a room. Well my wife had to correct him with the proper pronunciation. So now he walk's around saying "Ranger's lead the way".
The truly sad part of the whole thing is, I'm not even Ranger qualified.

He hasn't seen it in awhile. I'll have to watch it with him again.

Best be careful, he may end up running around asking where is his Peter-san!

Or everytime you tell him to do something, you'll get, "I'll try!"

It never fails, the stories of your son always bring a smile to my face.

Reads like a Reader's Digest story. Submit it and it might earn you a few $$.
Kids are great.

You should see him throwing flash bangs and trying to clear rooms (he's almost broken a couple windows). I'm currently working on transition drill's with him and his toy guns.
My wife thinks I'm a little strange but I think it's funny as heck.

I have three nephews that would benefit from that sort of hands-on training.
