Demon Llamas?
March 5, 2009 at 9:55 pm | In family, parenting | 95 CommentsAbout 4 years ago we bought each of our twin little girls a Rody Pony (see 
picture at right) at a clearance sale. They have enjoyed them so much.
We’ve never called them Rody though. Our son (6 at the time) decided that they were “llamas.”
They’ve played an important role in our family. Last year my son broke his arm trying to avoid this particular “llama” when jumping off of a swing. Imagine the ER personnel trying to understand how he broke his arm because of the black llama with yellow spots. They kept asking me if he had hit his head.
Tonight the kids were playing outside, and my son picked up the ‘llama’ and threw it, yelling, “Demon Llama!**” Then I heard my 5 year old daughters little voice pipe up saying, as loud as she could yell, “My demon llama. Don’t pop my demon llama!” I wonder what the neighbors thought…
Children say the funniest things.
(**demon llama is a reference to a children’s movie called “The Emperor’s New Groove,” about an Emperor who was turned into a llama, and scared the peasant man who found him. The peasant man understandably thought the llama was possessed, and shouted “demon llama.” This is one of our all time favorite family movies. Of course, once you have to explain a joke, it is no longer funny.)

Heidi,
Ha ha ha! This is so funny! Thanks for sharing this! I’m somewhat glad you explained the connection with “The Emperor’s New Groove,” because it makes a bit more sense. At first, I thought that your kids called it that because it was the color black, or that it seems to have “been there” when your kids had ouchies or accidents.
Anyways, this was cute!
Blessings,
~Amy

Great story. Maybe you need to exercise them
Comment by Mike — March 7, 2009 #
Wellll, llook at that. It’s a llama!
Comment by NorDude — March 7, 2009 #
Dude! Do llamas have llandllords…?
Comment by MRNor — March 7, 2009 #
In response to that question, I would safely conclude with the utmost assurance that llamas do not, indeed, have llandllords.
Comment by ProfessorNor — March 7, 2009 #
Heh. Professor said “LLandLLord!”
Comment by JustNorWillDo — March 7, 2009 #
Yeah! And it’s all right there for everyone to see! Mr. Smarty Pants actually said “LLandLLord!”
Comment by Nor — March 7, 2009 #
Gosh, this could turn into quite a fiasco!
Comment by NorEaster — March 7, 2009 #
Who’s STUPIDER now, Professor?
Comment by NorNotSoSmartyPants — March 7, 2009 #
Dude!
Comment by MRNor — March 7, 2009 #
Actually, the proper alliteration as relates to the initial text would most accurately be pronounced “demon.”
Comment by ProfessorNor — March 7, 2009 #
And would you look at that? He’s already trying to change the subject!
Comment by JustNorWillDo — March 7, 2009 #
Dude! And he’s, like, talking about demons.
Comment by NorDude — March 7, 2009 #
Hmm…Takes one to know one…?
Comment by Nor — March 7, 2009 #
Well, if it takes one to know one…
Comment by MRNor — March 7, 2009 #
…we must know ourselves quite well.
Comment by NorNotSoSmartyPants — March 7, 2009 #
That reminds me of a joke…
Comment by ProfessorNor — March 7, 2009 #
The Professor is going to tell a joke…?
Comment by NorDude — March 7, 2009 #
Wow! What’s the world coming to?!?!?!
Comment by Nor — March 7, 2009 #
A joke? From the Professor…?
Comment by JustNorWillDo — March 7, 2009 #
Or is the joke that he thinks he can actually tell a joke…?
Comment by MRNor — March 7, 2009 #
Well, if you would cease and desist this meaningless prattle then I just might be able to do so, gentlemen.
Comment by ProfessorNor — March 7, 2009 #
Hmph. Look who’s talking about “meaningless brittle”.
Comment by NorDude — March 7, 2009 #
That’s prattle.
Comment by ProfessorNor — March 7, 2009 #
Dude!!
Comment by MRNor — March 7, 2009 #
Okay. All right. Whatever. Just, like, let him tell the joke.
Comment by JustNorWillDo — March 7, 2009 #
This ought to be good……..NOT!!!!
Comment by NorNotSoSmartyPants — March 7, 2009 #
Yeah, right.
Comment by NorDude — March 7, 2009 #
No. Left.
Comment by Nor — March 7, 2009 #
This distinguished gentleman proceeds to a local cocktail lounge…
Comment by ProfessorNor — March 7, 2009 #
Translation: “This guy walks into a bar…”
Comment by NorNotSoSmartyPants — March 7, 2009 #
…and engages the host in a stimulating conversation.
Comment by ProfessorNor — March 7, 2009 #
Translation: “And he says to the bartender…”
Comment by JustNorWillDo — March 7, 2009 #
Might I proceed to the punchline without all this lackadaisical misinterpretation?
Comment by ProfessorNor — March 7, 2009 #
Is that the punchline…?
Comment by MRNor — March 7, 2009 #
That’s not funny.
Comment by NorDude — March 7, 2009 #
Yeah. You said this was a joke, Professor.
Comment by JustNorWillDo — March 7, 2009 #
I think the Professor, like, needs some, like, professional help or something.
Comment by NorNotSoSmartyPants — March 7, 2009 #
Did somebody say, “Help?”
Comment by NorShrink — March 7, 2009 #
Ah, yes! Thank you quite kindly for your timely arrival, NorShrink! For it is these gentlemen who require psychiatric assistance! Now if you’ll excuse me, it’s time to retire. For you see, it is my duty to confiscate their Rainbow Chips Deluxe Chocolate Chip Cookies for the sake of revenge!
Comment by ProfessorNor — March 7, 2009 #
REVENGE!!! REVENGE, I SAY!!!
[Insert manical laughter.]
Comment by ProfessorNor — March 7, 2009 #
That dude is seriously off his rocka!
Comment by MRNor — March 7, 2009 #
You ain’ kiddin’.
Comment by JustNorWillDo — March 7, 2009 #
Geez. He left a trail of smoke on his way out the door. What’s with that–
Comment by NorDude — March 7, 2009 #
He stole the cookies!!!!
Comment by Nor — March 7, 2009 #
Half.
Comment by NorShrink — March 7, 2009 #
Dude! What do you mean, “Half?”
Comment by MRNor — March 7, 2009 #
Yeah! Do we still have some cookies left?
Comment by JustNorWillDo — March 7, 2009 #
No. He stole half. I ate the other half.
Comment by NorShrink — March 7, 2009 #
Dude!!!
Comment by MRNor — March 7, 2009 #
It was part of the collective bargaining agreement.
Comment by NorShrink — March 7, 2009 #
A shrink who steals our cookies…? What’s the world coming to these days?
Comment by JustNorWillDo — March 7, 2009 #
[Yelling from a safe distance.]
There is no greater therapy than cookies!!!
Comment by ProfessorNor — March 7, 2009 #
Dude!!!!!
Comment by MRNor — March 7, 2009 #
Can’t argue with that.
Comment by TheNorEaster — March 7, 2009 #
Well…no. But we usually do argue.
Comment by JustNorWillDo — March 7, 2009 #
And Heidi gets all the giggles.
Comment by NorEaster — March 7, 2009 #
Guess the joke really is on us.
Comment by MRNor — March 7, 2009 #
But at least we shared.
Comment by NorDude — March 7, 2009 #
Unlike some people.
Comment by Nor — March 7, 2009 #
Comment by TheNorEaster — March 7, 2009 #
[With a sly
]
I got my share.
Comment by NorShrink — March 7, 2009 #
Dude, that is MEAN, MAN!!! THAT’S JUST MEAN!!!
Comment by JustNorWillDo — March 7, 2009 #
Hey, I got cookies. The Professor got cookies. So tell me…who’s crazy?
Comment by NorShrink — March 7, 2009 #
I think we really do need psychiatric help…
Comment by Nor — March 7, 2009 #
Can’t argue with that.
Comment by TheNorEaster — March 7, 2009 #
No…
Comment by JustNorWillDo — March 7, 2009 #
…but we usually do.
Comment by MRNor — March 7, 2009 #
And this time it cost us our cookies.
Comment by NorNotSoSmartyPants — March 7, 2009 #
That’s why he’s the Professor.
Comment by NorShrink — March 7, 2009 #
And you’re a MEANY FACE!!!
Comment by JustNorWillDo — March 7, 2009 #
Much Ado About Nothing…
Comment by TheNorEaster — March 7, 2009 #
Not quite.
Comment by NorShrink — March 7, 2009 #
What do you mean, MEANY FACE?
Comment by Nor — March 7, 2009 #
The demon llama made me do it.
Comment by NorShrink — March 7, 2009 #
Heh.
Comment by ProfessorNor — March 7, 2009 #
Now THAT’S A HIJACK!!!
Comment by TheNorEaster — March 7, 2009 #
Kelly, I finally told him not to give so much information.
Comment by HW — March 8, 2009 #
Mark R… yep.
Comment by HW — March 8, 2009 #
Mike, I’m thinking something is needed here!
Comment by HW — March 8, 2009 #
Nor, that certainly was a blog hijack. Haha. Now… what was that punchline?!!???
Comment by HW — March 8, 2009 #
Wha? No response after ALL THAT?!?!?!
Comment by TheNorEaster — March 8, 2009 #
Ah. There you are!
The punchline was…Um…Err…Heh…Uh…
What punchline…?
Comment by TheNorEaster — March 8, 2009 #
AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Comment by HW — March 8, 2009 #
that is not a blogjack that is a take over! hahahaha
Comment by darla — March 8, 2009 #
[In best Bugs Bunny voice. “Ain’t I a stinka?”
Comment by TheNorEaster — March 8, 2009 #
Yeah, you’re right, Darla…it was Heidi’s.
Great job, Nor!
Comment by Michelle — March 8, 2009 #
Darla, very true.
Nor, you certainly are!!!
Michelle… what was Heidi’s?
Comment by HW — March 8, 2009 #
I thought Nor hijacked my blog, but he had only commented on a few posts. Darla let me know that it was yours. Mine was not considered a hijack…five comments.
But, at least my front page was filled with my favorite avatar.
I don’t think I’ve ever…EVER…had 80 comments from one person!!
I think Nor needs a hobby.
Comment by Michelle — March 10, 2009 #
Michelle, I think this IS his hobby…
Comment by HW — March 11, 2009 #
Amy, I fished you out of my spam folder! Thanks for your comment.
Comment by HW — March 13, 2009 #
That was so funny, especially when the ER people kept asking if he had hit his head!
Comment by The Running Golfer — March 18, 2009 #
Golfer, it took me awhile to figure out why they thought he had a head injury, but then it was way too funny. I did ask him to share less information after that.
