Boy Mom Monday: Best Actor Nominations

During dinner, the Big Kid asked everyone to name their favorite actor.

Spouse:  Tom Hanks.  Incredible range.

Me:  Seriously?  Range?  He plays some version of himself in every movie.  He's "Affable Charming Guy."  Like George Clooney.

Big Kid:  So who's your favorite, Mom?
 
Me:  Tie.  Alan Rickman, Gary Oldman.

Big Kid:  Gary Oldman?

Spouse:  Commission Gordon.  Sirius Black.

Big Kid:  THAT WAS THE SAME GUY?

Me:  EXACTLY.

Little Kid:  The guy from "Sharknado."

Everyone else:  Huh?

Little Kid:  My favorite actor is the guy from "Sharknado."  The one with the chainsaw.

Everyone else:  IAN ZIERING?

Little Kid:  If that's his name, yes.

[Stunned silence.]

If any of us think of a response, I'll post an update.  But don't hold your breath.
