Which child from movies or tv would you adopt for your own?

There are of course some rules.

One, you can’t change a thing about them. If you adopt Oliver from Oliver! he will break out into song al the time but then again, only dogs will be able to hear some of the songs. IF you would like the Macaulay Culkin character from The Good Son you can’t say, except for the killing part.

Oh and you can’t just take a kid without thier siblings. So if you want Peter you have to take the entire Brady Bunch.
I have two choices. One is the young girl from the Old Navy carolers commercial. The one in the center. She just has this perfect little girl look to her and I don’t consider the other people in the ad to be her siblings. She would break out into weird versions of Christmas songs frequently but I could live with that.

My other choice is a young boy from a movie. He is able to entertain himself and he does mind his mother even if she is creepy as hell and he is filthy stinking rich.

Of course I’m adopting young Charles Foster Kane.

Who do you want?

Hands down: Newt. Not only able to entertain herself, I don’t even have to feed and look after her :slight_smile: Plus she can clean out my ductworks when they get dirty. She’s not dumb as a rock either so would likely get my postmodern sense of humor.

maybe Damien

4

Harry Potter–I don’t count Dudley as a sib.
Or Ritchie from the Dick Van Dyke show–he only shows up when he is tangential to the plot, so the duties wouldn’t be very onerous… :slight_smile:

5

Tabitha from Bewitched. I could have her conjure up all sorts of nice things for me.

Or maybe Endora from Passions.

6

You do realize that means the Dobby will be showing up at your place all summer long.
I’m also thinking Jim from Empire of the Sun. He’s a prettty good kid and he loves airplanes.

7

Morgan Matthews from Boy Meets World.

The daughter who disappeared for episodes, even almost seasons, at a time.

8

Chuck Cunningham.

I know he’s already in high school, but he just seems so…lost.

9

But that means you’ve got to take Richie and Joanie as well. Then this hoodlum Chachi guy will start hanging around Joanie and…

10

I get the Baudelaires from A Series of Unfortunate Events, even though it means I’ll most likely be killed by Count Olaf in a week or two.

11

Nemo. Just let me finish setting up this aquarium…
What?

12

Zan and Jayna, the Wonder Twins. Zan can transform into a bigass tub of ice to keep my beer cold while Jayna turns herself into a sheep and keeps the lawn trimmed.

13

Violet, Dashiel & Jack-Jack Parr.

And I bet I don’t even have to explain who they are.

Three really super kids. gotta love 'em.

14

"Boo," the little girl in Monsters Inc.

15

Kal-El

16

I was going to take Marcia Brady (teenage version) but I don’t want the other 5 Bradys and I certainly don’t want Cousin Oliver. Give me Billie Jo Bradley from Petticoat Junction, and I’ll suffer having Bobbie Jo and Betty Jo too.

17

Adopt? I’d pay to keep the Full House kids as far away from me as possible.

18

Don’t forget – you get Gleep the Monkey, too!

19

Can I claim the Quagmire Triplets then?

20

Do I want to read any further than that? :eek:
