The Sweet Science Is So Romantic

That's kind of what I think about the whole thing, too, son.

So he doesn't seem to be entirely into the whole Valentine's Day thing, huh?

Man-in-training we've got there. You're doing a fine job, Eric.

that is awesome. He'd rather punch somebody that give them a valentine's day present.

"Her's your present Pollo! A little rope-a-dope!"

eric said...

i should be fair. i really posted that picture because i love the way he spelled "pollocreed" as one word.

we borrowed rocky from a friend. now i get body shots to the gut followed with a swift hook when i'm eating dinner.

he actually kind of enjoys it. he doesn't like candy, though, so i guess it's all about the love.

he told me he likes it because he can give hugs and kisses to his brother and mom and dad. i asked him about girls and he said no way.

it's funny ... i was such a cassanova when i was his age. he's more like a mini-guy, as melissa points out.

eric said...

oh, and i don't think you were around for this one, duckie.

this is my take on the whole the difference between boys and girls on v-day ...

That's cool. In response to your comment on my Love is Never Enough post; yeah, love is definitely something you do, in fact it's something you have KEEP doing.

Kind of like Rocky movies.

i'm still debating that one, but so far it looks like you're in the majority.

it's now how hard you hit. It's how hard you can get hit and still keep hitting back.

eric said...

... that's how winning is done!

Wise beyond his years.

eric said...

yes ... duckie is, isn't he?

Rusty said...

POLLOCREED! Awesome.

We used to have those big boxing gloves when I was a kid. My dad would watch us box, laughing his ass off, and my mom would come home horrified.

James Burnett said...

Can I borrow those images to explain to my wife how I got scarred toward Valentine's?

Good stuff.

eric said...

rusty, i think i'm going to get him a pair of boxing gloves and a punching bag for his birthday in april. his mom will love that ...

james ... you can use whatever picture you want, man.

and i know you're probably not entirely serious, but i don't care if anyone uses any type of photo of mine i've got on here.

Makes sense to me. :)

Maybe he was working on a theme... No more mushy hearts.

Jay said...

I think it's important to let kids express themselves and formulate their own opinions about these stupid made up holidays. I think he's on the right track here. Valentines day sucks.

Katie said...

I couldn't help but giggle at that...now you know for sure what he thinks about Valentines.

As for me being a lookalike, you're not the first person who has ever said that to me. Probably a half-dozen times over the past couple of years people have told me that in pictures I look like their aunt/mom/sister/cousin when they were younger. I guess I have one of those faces? Dunno.

Take care! Hope you've had a nice weekend!
