If I had minions…
Sunday, Ben and I went to see Despicable Me.
I adored it. I love it. I want to own it. I adored the little girls, especially the one with the unicorn obsession (not that I was like that when I was little), and Steve Carrel’s character.
But more than the movie itself, I adored the minions.
How can you not love the minions?
And I got to thinking, what would I do with a bunch of minions?
If I had minions…
I would build have them build a submarine so we could go searching under the ocean for Atlantis.
If I had minions…
I’d have them build me a pink go-kart with streamers, leopard print seats, a horn that shouted “ARUUGGAA!” when you punched it and had a special seat with helmets for the Babies to ride along in. Then we would all race, them in their minion go-karts, me in my pink one.
If I had minions…
We would have the world’s biggest tea party with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, cookies and apple slices. Minions have the perfect giggles for tea parties.
If I had minions…
They could build me a giant robot shaped like a duck called the Duck-a-tron. I could outswim any boat, fly over traffic with a triumphant quack and never have to worry about finding a parking spot.
If I had minions….
We could create a giant pyramid of waterskiers and win a grand prize.
If I had minions…
We could create our own year-round summer camp, with horseback riding, smores, swimming, arts and crafts and tons of fun. Because I’m sure a large group of minions could figure out how to create artifical climate control.
And finally, if I had minions…
I would go to the moon.
But not to steal it, to dance on it.
Because minions seem like they’d be wonderful dancing partners.
Stay tuned, Invisible Friends! We have a new pet shop story tomorrow and a delicious recipe Thursday! Plus, the end of Dallas Jean Friday and a new Comfort and Whimsy Saturday! Stay tuned!

I want to see the movie so bad!
August 3rd, 2010 at 4:14 am
Ohhh Duckie. I really want to see this film! I saw all the trailers in Canada. Can’t wait for it to come here! If I had minions I would hug them and love them and never let them go. xxoo

Now there’s a movie I definitely want to see. I only saw the minions in movie trailers
but they were so cute I fell in love with them right away.

My son and his boys went to see it and just loved it also, honey. I think we’ll have to go see it then.
xoxo,
Connie

Duckei, you’re a classic! I want to provide you with some minions so that I can see what you do with them!
August 3rd, 2010 at 6:34 am
Sounds like we all need some minions.
August 3rd, 2010 at 6:36 am
Minions! Atlantis!
Clearly the recipe for the perfect vacation.
Can I come?

I’ve heard great things about that movie. I’ll have to add it to my list.
I’d love to take a ride in the Duck-a-tron. The minions could tape our adventures and we’d make millions! The minions would be included, too, of course.

If I had minions, I bet they wouldn’t let me dine alone.
August 3rd, 2010 at 8:44 am
I had not seen it yet. I think I’ll wait for the dvd to come out. I am actually waiting for “Eat, Pray, Love” movie to come out. Are in to this type of movie? I must say that I am not really into Julia Robert thing, but I have to see this movie because it was shot in Bali, My birth place and where I grew up

They remind me of the toys in the claw machine in Toy Story, though I think they probably have different personalities. Was the movie as funny as the commercials make it out to be?
August 3rd, 2010 at 9:19 am
I have never so much as heard of this film, let alone seen it. I suppose this is what happens when you have no cable. :/
August 3rd, 2010 at 9:37 am
I don’t know, wouldn’t minions at some point decide they should organize and demand rights? Then you’d have to make them cookies and pie while THEY danced and had all the fun!

I like to say a kid, too. You have to find something that will keep you young.
August 3rd, 2010 at 10:10 am
If I had minions, we would be eating cupcakes:-)
August 3rd, 2010 at 10:22 am
My son and I loved your minion post! We loved that movie too!
August 3rd, 2010 at 11:01 am
This is hysterical. Can I come play at minion camp?
Lots of yummy love,

I have to admit, I’m not an animation fan! I know, I lack whimsy.
August 3rd, 2010 at 12:17 pm
I want the minions to fix my wrist! Fast.
August 3rd, 2010 at 12:21 pm
I really want to see this movie! Good to know someone liked it!
xo
August 3rd, 2010 at 1:18 pm
Now if I had minions, I’d just keep them busy cleaning the house all day so I could run around and have fun!
August 3rd, 2010 at 1:23 pm
Would love to see you cruising the waters in a Duck-a-tron!
August 3rd, 2010 at 2:03 pm
Wow, I wish I had minions, sometimes I pretend like the dog is one but she ignores my wishes
August 3rd, 2010 at 2:22 pm
Very nice! I heard this movie is great and I hope we get to see it very soon!
August 3rd, 2010 at 2:36 pm
This post is so charming!!! We’re off to see it this weekend!
Minions…I love the Duck-a-tron!! You are so creative!!! I think Duckie minions are the bomb!!!
August 3rd, 2010 at 3:14 pm
You always make me laugh. I like that you love these little things.
August 3rd, 2010 at 3:32 pm
I took my kids to see it last week… we loved it too.
August 3rd, 2010 at 4:37 pm
Minions are a great thing to keep handy around the house. If only I could convince my chicas that they need to act more minion-ish…
August 3rd, 2010 at 7:25 pm
The minions with 2 eyes have a better sight than those with 1 eye!
August 3rd, 2010 at 8:27 pm
Those minions MADE that movie! I want some to make me smile on dark days!
Thanks for visiting my blog today!
August 3rd, 2010 at 9:03 pm
I haven’t seen it yet, but clearly they are the best part. I love their little voices.
August 3rd, 2010 at 9:39 pm
I’m glad you enjoyed the movie. Should you ever get minions you must promise to use them only for good. Deal? Have a great day. Blessings…Mary

If I had minions I’d never have to clean the stupid toilet more mow the lawn again. But its okay daaaaaahling, I have flying monkeys.
*kisses* HH

Thanks to you I now am aware of these minions. My little nephew will be so impressed with me. His Birthday is coming up and he asked me for his favourite chocolate cake. His gift will be bringing him to the movies ;o)
Ciao for now,
Claudia

I haven’t seen the movie yet, but it does sound fun to have minions. Sometimes I refer to my husband and daughter as my minion. A very small minion.
August 4th, 2010 at 9:53 am
You are so hilarious! Have you tried the minion French toast at iHop?
August 4th, 2010 at 10:09 am
I need some minions!
August 4th, 2010 at 3:13 pm
You’re so cute…you can consider all your readers your minions and do something with us! ;D
August 5th, 2010 at 6:58 am
Will you share your minions with me? They could do my dishes and vacuum up cat hair…
August 9th, 2010 at 9:44 am
Very glad to hear that Ben took you to a movie. Minions were great, but the little girl just stoled my heart. Danielle and I both thought she reminded us of you.
