Why my whole family really needs a life…

One of my and Sarge’s favorite movies is The Princess Bride.

The funny thing is we’re not the only ones who are enamored of this movie. In fact, it is considered somewhat of a cult classic.

Why, even when I googled it, a whole page opened up for the memorable quotes.

One of my personal favorites is when Vizzini has just cut the rope that The Dread Pirate Roberts is using to climb up the Cliffs of Insanity.  All through out the beginning of the movie, Vizzini has been using the word “inconceivable” over and over.

Vizzini to another character, Inigo: “HE DIDN’T FALL? INCONCEIVABLE!”

Inigo Montoya: “You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.”

Tonight, as we were sauntering around Barnes and Nobles, my son asks me about the iconic line from Inigo Montoya. Which is just so sad that I even knew it immediately. We’re talking right off the top of my head.

You know the one I’m talking about. . .

“Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.”

After I told him the full quote, he began to repeat it over and over and over. Sort of like the use of “inconceivable” earlier.

Except he kept mispronouncing Inigo’s name.

My personal favorite was when he said, while playing with a younger boy at the Thomas the Tank Engine table in the kids’ section of Barnes and Noble, “My name is Mongo Toyota. You killed my father. Prepare to die.”

It was such a proud moment for me as a parent.

Yes, I am sarcastic. Only a little bit though.
