I-Gol Mania

Yes, we are again hooked on American Idol. So much so that the kids all morph into the different Idol personalities every Tuesday and Wednesday night.

We have Randy (Dylan) who exclaims throughout each performance, "Ooooh that's pitchy."

We have Simon (Katherine) who loves to roll her eyes and complain about "song choice". She has even earned the privilege of being the designated Simon at school where playing Idol has replaced hopscotch and hand clapping games on the playground.

And finally, we have Ryan Seacrest (Isaac) who recognizes the opening music and starts screaming, "American I-Gol, American I-Gol, American I-Gol" with so much enthusiasm that he could possibly have a future in broadcasting if he could just learn how to pronounce those darn D's.

Oh yeah, and there's Gracie - the closest thing we have to Paula. She just sits there looking dumb.
