Fallen Out Boy
filed under: Dadditudes
In the cycling series of Max's obsessions, Wonder Pets replaced Little Einsteins and were then in turn replaced by The Backyardigans. But now he's moved on to some new "friends" - Fall Out Boy.
He is so carried away with them that he can surf YouTube for their videos all by himself (wtf?) and, when he discovered that there was an article about them in Entertainment Weekly this week, insisted that the magazine stay with him at all times and that Mommy stop touching it.
This morning, he set down his Wonder Pets stuffed animals and took the magazine to school with him instead. I couldn't even close it - it had to be open to the Fall Out Boy article.
As I carried him to the car in the rain, he was very concerned about his new friends. "Have you got my magazine, Daddy?" he asked. "Is it getting wet in the rain?"
At least I *like* Fall Out Boy. He's fond of Dashboard Confessional, 30 Seconds to Mars and Hinder, too, so it could have been WAY worse...

Mama-San
this is SERIOUS! we have to help her.
To save the mamasan, to save the mamasan, to save the MAMASAN! Wheeeeee....
I noticed yesterday that Fall Out Boy is on the cover of Spin. Might want to steer Max clear of the magazine stand for the next couple of days.
