that's adorable.
what cool kids, they have great taste in music.
That is absolutely adorable!
i tried to get my 4 year old cousin to listen to you guys once, but sadly he is still particularly keen on the wiggles. it was worth the shot
awhh that's so cute ^_^
i love kids. and most of them actually are very wise =)
Got to love those kids. I actually got my little cousin hooked on you guys as well. Apart from the fact that he thinks you guys 'dress funny' ha! kids.
The fans just keep getting younger and younger, eh? Next they'll be singing your tunes within the uterus.
But seriously, those videos were quite cute.
at the risk of weakening my manlyness
"cute"
aww.. that is so cute!!
my 7 year old sister loves u guys too but she never draws good pictures like that
she love u guys chain me free video
<3
lmfaooo, cute.
get them young, take over the world.
kids know whats right! my baby cousin Geneveve was fussy so i sang Salty Eyes to her and she giggled and then fell asleep (i dont speak baby but i think thats a good thing). Her old brothers and sister also love the insurance triangle dance video and we always do the same thing (i play the part of matt because my dance moves are criminally idiotic)(they mosh like crazy too...ive had insane bruises from those little rascals). im their only source of good music i think...dont worry, ill feed them on the matches goodness
Awww, that is so cute!
Apprently they felt Justin's pain, and liked you in striped pink pants, Haha. I love kids, they're some of the most amazing people...usually anyway. Ha.
Your signature is streached again, by the way. :)

Justin's art got pwn3d by some pretty cool kids.
You have no oidea how hard it is for me to type mistake-less and intellegnt-ful at 4am on a Satirday night, so apoligies befrore everything.
FIX YOUR SIG, I LOVE YOU/.
awwwww
"tell Shawn that this is the guitar"
cute kids, my lord
What's the story with Justin's feet again?
are they sunburnt or bleeding eh?
that is just darling!
..maybe you could collaborate with them for your next album cover?
awww that's so cute. i love it.
Fans are getting younger and younger. Thats so cute!! If ever I have children there will be no wiggles or hi 5 in my house, only the matches.
WOW!!! they had an intense fascination with Justin. More specifically Justin dropping the TV on his foot! haha At some points I think they forgot all your names and just started to call you all Justin. Nonetheless, they were quite adorable and some pretty rad fans.
best little kid's drawing I've ever seen. I've had my little brother listening to you since he was 9. xoxoxo
Shawn mate, just to apologise for my ramblings last night. I had no idea.
But yeah, those kids are definitely Justin's creative enemies now.
haha.
reminds me of my sister.
she's a big fan.
and seven.
it's really cute.
hi,
i told you at chicago warped tour that you danced like michael jackson..hah
the show was AMAZING. you all put on the best live show ive ever seen...they get better and better and i've been a fan since the first show i chicago at fireside bowl with plain white t's.
just wanted to let you know how good it was and how im am continuously impressed by the band, even after 5 years.
my request still stands though. please play dog eared page when you tour in the fall, or the restless.
see you next show!
-danielle
um. i love you.
haha my 2 year old adores you guys, even though most of the time when she listens to it we're in the car...and she falls asleep..but i'm going to say she falls asleep because she's in the car, not because of you guys. but haha, she loves HER matcheys (she wins that battle all the time), mostly jon when he had big hair though. and she thinks you're johnny depp, she grabs your picture off my dresser and goes "arrrrgg"
the only thing I wish was that you guys had onesies when she was little. *shrug* maybe next time haha.
Kid's got your fashion sense down to a T, there, Shawn...stripes and all.
Pity, I have no young'uns near me to corrupt into Matches fandom...however, my little sister has been working on a mean karaoke rendition of "To Build A Mountain." Have to see if I can get that on tape.
"And what are you drawing?"
"I'm drawing a picture of your favourite boy!"
That's probably the best picture I've ever seen. Don't you have a pair of pants exactly like that?
I tried to influence my half-sister to listen to you guys. She didn't like it and her mom made me turn it off. No taste, I guess.
life would be so much easier for me if you could just play guitar in my living room all day.
aww that was so cute!
That kid (or those kids) is (are my hero(s).
And they have a lot of competition from other little kids who order green apple ice cream with peanut butter in it and eat it all.
<3
idk y i couldnt comment this but ive been trying 2 say i love that one girl's reasoning about y the tv made justin's feet burnt. shes so convincing 2.
well, the tv got hit by the sun and justin dropped the tv on his foot so the tv hurt his foot.
i woulda believed her. shed be a good lawyer.

In the past few days at warped, I've heard a couple tales of toddlers rocking karaoke to our music. Gotta get that youtubed and post it on here. Kids are little people who haven't lost the magic yet. Adults who have a spark left are just the ones who managed not to unlearn everything important in school.
I love little kids they are so adorable no matter what they say or do, and are the best critics because they tell you how it is with no bull shit! They have nothing holding them back. GOD I MISS PRE-SCHOOL!!!!
Amen to comment #30.

dude, i seriously have a video of my niece dancing and singing along to you guys. she's almost 2 and absolutely adorable. i will try to upload it asap.
i totally agree.
kids are true punks. they are carefree and completely unrestricted by the barriers of society. they do w.e they want and care about nothing. its gr8. if only adults and teens could be like that 2.
im not saying no order. i mean be themselves, not worrying about what every1 thinx of u.
ha ha thats awesome
Warning, this is going to be really long. I have a few videos of my niece Bree that I uploaded. Here's a quick back story. Jessica and I were at my sister's house a few months ago and every time Jessica's phone rang Bree would get really excited. My Soft and Deep was the song. She has the whole song on her phone so we played it. She loved it, so we decided to tape her reaction. **sound system courtesy of Jessica's cell phone**
Video #1
She hasn't quite grasped the English language but she mumbles the same thing every time she hears the song, so it must be her own version. Here she sings a bit, then grabs the phone and dances and runs circles around me.
ONE
Video #2
She finds another Matches song on the phone. She believes you guys are singing through the phone and attempts to talk to you. TWO
Video #3
She replays My Soft and Deep, dances a bit. We tried to see if her sister Belle wanted to join in... not so much, as she takes off when she finally realizes she's being taped. THREE
Video #4
Just a quick one with some head bobbing. lol FOUR
So, I warned you this was long. Sorry about the quality, I'm too busy to edit the videos. She was only about 15 months old when we shot these, her love and skills have grown since. I will try to see if she's up for another round.
They're like mini anarchists except not as violent... maybe more hippie.
Haha!
Shawn I missss you....
my 18 month old daughter has heard your music very frequently (as in nearly every day for several weeks at a time) since being in utero, so she's quite fond of you boys and your music. salty eyes has been a fave since hearing it for the first time after leaving our local music store and popping it into my cd player in the car last year... it seems to calm her down enough in the car to go to sleep, so i use it at night as a lullaby and it's definitely her favourite. anyways..one day i run into the living room after hearing the opening notes to salty eyes and find her frozen stiff infront of the tube, obviously awe struck as well as perplexed. typically she pays no attention to the tv unless barney or elmo is on the screen..but she will actually sit still long enough to watch your video! this is definitely a rare occurance, well worth recording. :) this is the crappier of the two, i'll try to get the other one on after my camera/computer are done being dysfunctional. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3yTEwxCAVg

My two-year-old absolutely loves you guys. I took some pictures of her with the E. Von Dahl booklet.
Ah, kids, those little devils... They love to be mischievous and take pleasure in pain.
Poor Justin, and his foot.
I bet those pictures are to be framed.
