Boy 2 and the Kanigets of the Round Table

The Parker Family loves quotable movies. Movies are most quotable when there are plenty of one-liners, said one-liners can be used in the normal flow of conversation, there is a great accent to emulate, or the movie is known by those around us just enough to get a good laugh from someone without it being cliche. 



"Joe vs. the Volcano" is one of our family favorites in this quotable movie genre. It's not unusual to hear one of us say, "I'm not arguing that with you," or, "I have no response to that," in the midst of conversation. 


Just last week we all watched "Monty Python and the Search for the Holy Grail." Now Boy 2 fancies himself a member of the Kanigets of the Round Table and has finely tuned his goofy medieval accent. He finds a way to say, "It's not a matter of how it grips it..." in every conversation and will happily quote some of the taunts of the French knights for you.


So if you ever see Boy 2 "galloping" around and singing, "When danger reared its ugly head, he gladly turned his tail and fled," know that you are witnessing the scene with Sir Robin's minstrels and enjoying the fruits of Boy 2's amazing ability to memorize movie lines and copy accents.


As I like to say, we all have our gifts!
