The Godfather

Bianca and I have been working through some epic movies in the evening, after beating back the pool a.k.a. Swamp Thing. Most recently it has been The Godfather, broken up into 30-60 minute chunks to prevent the Mommy from falling asleep. Though it is a BIT violent, I can't wait to share the movie with Peanut.

Unbeknownst to many it is the aphorisms that, among other things, makes The Godfather a great movie. Here is an example of a few instances in which The Godfather's wise sayings will help Peanut.

"Dad, I only have one free hand what do I take?"

Leave the gun, take the cannoli.


"Mom, what are you doing?" [To Bianca while she is making her tomato gravy]

Come over here, Peanut, I will teach you how to make sauce, in case you have to cook for a bunch of guys.

[After he gets off the phone with his first girlfriend]

Peanut, why don't you tell that nice girl you love her? I love you with all-a my heart, if I don't see-a you again soon, I'm-a gonna die.


"Dad, my Little League coach won't let me pitch."

Don't worry. I'll make him an offer he can't refuse.

And this from him, turning the tables:

Sorry, Mom for the pain of labor. It's business, not personal.

Ah, the wisdom of the Godfather.
