Recently, the kids have been watching a lot of Despicable Me. There’s this evil villain called Vector, who’s like the most annoyingly useless villain in the world, exactly the sort I like. And Jason Segel (Marshall from HIMYM) was the perfect voiceover for the character – equal parts annoying and likable.
In fact, the kids like him so much they’ve made up a game called the Vector Face. Ok back up a little. First, this is the Vector face. They go into hysterical giggling fits whenever it reaches this scene.
So the game works like this. We take turns to randomly shout “VECTOR FACE” throughout the day and everyone has to do this.
Did I mention that I’m the one who gets the most fun out of this whole exercise? When they’re fighting over toys or throwing a hissy fit, I go “VECTOR FACE” and bam, problem solved. Let’s see how long this lasts.

Smart move, I say!
highly recommended for Joey and Jayne :)

Daphne,
Damn cute pic of them! Kudos!
Ya I love it! If I haven’t made their passports these would be the photos I’ll use.
The things we do to our kids to entertain ourselves! I always say to hubby that they’ll get back at us when we are old and dependent on them, they’ll say ” Mama, quick do the Vector face if you want your meal! Or sing Twinkle twinkle little star if you want some chocolate”
It’s ok we can always threaten to release old, embarrassing blog posts on them if they do that to us, haha
[…] discovered that Tru’s talent is in making faces, like the vector face and the blue steel. He used to ask me to explain emotions when he watches TV, like “what […]
Awwwww….this is so cute…Vector kinda-sorta looks like one of my friends and he has almost the same expressions…only he isn’t weirdly fat or plump or whatever like vector is… but that doesn’t stop me from teasing him about it though
