What do you do with two empty shampoo bottles?


One of the great things about being unemployed this summer is the time I get to spend with my nephew, Ammon Y.  For those who don't know my awesome little man, he falls in love with certain movies and watches them unceasingly until he knows it better than the director probably did.  Seriously.  He knows more about Star Wars than I do and he's two...

Anyway.... One of his favorite movies at the time is a classic.  The Rocketeer
(You all remember that you thought it was an awesome show when you were kids too.)
One day, Mom brought home a package of shampoo and conditioner from Sam's Club.  Immediately, A.Y. saw it and exclaimed, "It's the rocket-pack!!" and preceded to drag the two heavy bottles behind him for a week.  As much as he loved that "rocket-pack," I thought it needed to be vamped up a little.  Which I did. 
He loved it so much he even let Grandma change his diaper without crying, which is quite a feat believe me.  The next three days I didn't see without the rocket-pack on and A.Y. dubbed me with the title of "Howard Hughes" who is the creator of the rocket-pack in the movie.  You'd think he'd died and gone to heaven.  Rocketeer heaven!
