My son <3 Irk

sohmageek thought this was worth mentioning said Sat, Jun 18th 2016 at 9:55am ET

Now… I know We’ve had the ask Irk Video… But the other day I was pretty sick… I had thrown on the I like Irk shirt and we went to change my son… he pointed at my shirt and said “IRK” (his irk sounded more like orc, but he is working on words he’ll turn 2 in Sept, so it’s not bad) I repeated Irk (with correct pronounciation… who who knows maybe he’s trying to do what Irk does to us to him…) This went back and forth a few times.
Then he hugged my shirt. Mistakenly I tried to hug him he got upset. (Here I thought he was trying to show me love.) he went no no no, pulled my shirt closer and started giving Irk kisses, I said Irk and he shook his head yes. So…

TL;dr My son Loves Irk and wants to hug and kiss Irk, also likes Irk’s game of mispronouncing names.
You win @Matthew

I’ve been wanting this forever now. I asked Irk, but he was not keen on the idea.

My one year old loves irk. Three year old is typically scared of irk. An irk plush would bring fights to my house.

the boy is ok with pictures of irk, but if i play ‘something went terribly wrong’, he yells “change it!” and closes the laptop.

- @carl669 That’s as appropriate a response to the song as any.

- @carl669 my son it used to be the temper stopper. He hasn’t had a bad meltdown temper tantrum in a while. But he loves that song

@Mehcus The time has come. As seen by our children (or at least @sohmageek’s). It is time for an Irk plush. Many of us loved our wOOt monkeys - now we want to love our Irk plushies. For the sake of our children (and us), create the plush. We will not be denied.

Time to sacrifice your shirt by turning it into a stuffed Irk.
