Rockstarism #339 – Rockstar And Friends’ Got Talent. And Erm, The Science Of Bey-Blades.

#339

Rockstar recently got excited about the little weekly talent shows where each kid gets to choose a talent to show to their classmates….. So excited in fact that he then presented The Science Of Bey-Blades on the spot. Mildly horrifying to me – he had scrawled his words very quickly and roughly on some of the Miss’ art paper one evening. But, he tells me, when his teacher announced they were starting the classroom version of Britain’s Got Talent, he went and volunteered on the spot to kick it off – with the roughly scrawled piece of paper <cringe>.

So over the weekend I printed some Bey-blade pictures and had him reproduce what he’d written – this time spelling “atmosphere” and “kinetic” correctly (I. Know. Talk about Empty Stable. Bolt.)…. 

But that’s not the story here. The cute bit is how Rockstar’s been coming home the last few days with stories of what his friends have been discussing their talents shalt be. Ideas have included Beat-boxing – the Ninja Turtles’ famous Elevator Beat-Box Scene, to be exact:

Like, HOW MUCH FUN IS THIS?? Loved the Ninja Turtle Elevator scene!! And according to Rockstar some of his friends are super good at Beat-boxing. I can believe it, since before this I have never seen Rockstar go, “Book-chuck, book-chuck, book-chuck” which he says really cracks his friends up because that’s like, the only Beat-box sound he can make and so now it’s his signature sound. Rockstar is called upon if they need a book-chucker in their masterpiece.

And there should be a picture of the kids right, so here is One Mean Beat-Boxer. Cough.
