Hangin’ with Hulkman
Faces of Hulkman
This week Hulkman (HM) has been staying with us. While the boys are home for Spring Break. While I still have to work. Did I tell you he brought his dog, making our dog count to 4? Inside the house?
*insert oversized smile with bulging eyes*
It was a little nuts yesterday…ok a whole lot of nuts. No one got any sleep the night before, I thought my new fancy-smanchy washer could handle washing my down coverlet only to have it “walking” all over the laundry nook due to the weight of wet bird feathers, Oldman left the back door open so 2 of the 4 dogs took off, HM’s OCD tendencies clashed with client phone calls, etc, etc, etc.
Last night we all got some good rest and life is functioning so much better.
All in all, having HM in the house is a complete hoot. I usually get to see/hear him every week, but it’s a different story when he’s staying with me.
I’ve heard some hilarious conversations between him and the boys. Example:
Remember the 1980’s show MacGyver? Well, he’s still very much alive in our home…HM has every season on DVD…Oldman has discovered how very cool MacGyver is (“He’s kinda like Han Solo, except he’s smarter and nicer”).
HM: “You like M-M-M-MacGyver?”
Oldman: “Yeah, he’s so cool.”
HM: “He’s your mom’s boyfriend.”
Oldman: “WHAT!?”
HM: “Shhh.…don’t tell your dad.”
(Well, Oldman, it’s like this: MacGyver WAS my boyfriend when I was 16 and totally in love with him! )
Sidenote: Do you know MacGyver’s first name? There’s a reason why he never gave it out!
ok, so HM might as well be Blake (i.e. ‘the purple blank’). thats priceless. memories! and ur boys will grow up with a wonderful sense of kindness and gentleness…well at least more than other boys!
Awesome. So what is MacGyver’s first name. My teenage love: Sylvester Stalone. I remember imagining calling him Sly. *sigh*
I think I need to Netflix MacGuyver — or however you spell it. My bff’s kids watch it all the time. My son would probably love it.
My teenage love was Kirk Cameron. I had pictures of him from all the teen magazines plastered over one wall of my room.
Fantastic! I’m so glad you got to spend some time with HM.
I had to google, but I found Macgyver’s 1st name. And, yes, there IS a reason!
