Did you actually say 'Stand your ground' like Gandalf said it in the movie?

Not sure. The moment was so fleeting it's hard to tell. It wasn't like, "stand your ground, perhaps?" like I was speaking to the elves at Helm's Deep. On the other hand, I didn't shout.

Still, the words were the same, and if I'd heard them a thousand times from one source, it's very possible that I sounded just like Ian.

Alatar . .that is one cute story ./......

you asked if we do the same and the answer is YES YES YES. I have a grandson who will be six in a few weeks. For some strange reason unknown to me, he just loves the LOTR movies. Go figure. He has seen them with me at least dozens of times. He can quote the lines as the film rolls.

Sometimes we go up to the local park where they have a playscape with a bridge. We do the "you shall not pass" routine on a regular basis. The playscape has a mediaval castle look so he says it is Helms Deep.

We also play LOTR quite alot. He and I act out scenes from the films including the scene where the Corsairs try to enter Gondor, Sam battling with Shelob, Boromir battling the Uruk-hai, and the decapitation of the Mouth of Sauron. In every reenactment, he is always the forces of good and I am the bad guys.

Love those kids cause they grow so very fast. Sounds like you already know that.

Your story made me smile and feel very good.

There's several times where it was said. Gandalf shouted it to the soldiers of Gondor, Theoden shouted it to the riders of Rohan, and Aragorn shouted it (actually, "hold your ground") to the armies of the Men of the West.
