The Setting: My Toyota Camry
The Players:
Me the mom
Noah the boy
Noah, speaking for Scooby the dog
The Scene:
We are on the way back to school from Noah's 10 year old checkup with the doctor
Me: Noah I am so thankful you are healthy! Yay God!
Noah: Yep.
Me: You got a sticker from the basket in there?
Noah: Yep.
Me: I didn't know you still liked stickers.
Noah: This one is for Scooby - it's a picture of a cute girl dog.
Me: Oh Really?
Noah talking as Scooby: Hey I like you dog. You are cute and cuddly. I am interested!
Me laughing.
Noah talking as Scooby: So, what kind of meat do you like?
I continue to laugh.
Noah as Scooby: Chicken? Beef? We could get together at the park and I could fetch balls for you.
Me: Um, Scooby, you don't like to fetch balls.
Noah as Scooby: For her I would.
I see a teaching moment and I jump on it.
Me: Scooby (but I'm really talking to Noah) don't ever try to be someone you aren't for a girl. Just be yourself. Don't change for anyone.
Noah as Scooby: So you want me to keep pooping on the carpet?
So much for teachable moments. But I love the silly ones! :0)
