CONVERSATION WITH MY 4 YEAR OLD BOY


Me:  You’ve been such a good boy, you can get a new toy when we go to Target.
4Yo Son:  A new toy!?
Me:  Yes, how about a new puzzle.
4YO Son:  I don’t want a puzzle, I want “Doggy Doo”.
Me:  “Doggy Doo” ?
4YO Son:  Yes, I saw it on Cartoon Network.   
Me:  What is “Doggy Doo”?
4YO Son:  It’s a doggy like Weiner that goes poo, poo.
Me:  I’m not getting you a doggy that poo-poos.  You got two doggies that poo-poo all day long.
4YO Son:  But I want “Doggy Doo”! I want to play with “Doggy Doo”.
Me:  Let’s take a walk outside in the backyard, there’s plenty of “Doggy Doos” to play with.

The TAKE AWAY:   He didn’t think the trip to the backyard was funny.  I didn’t think the toy “Doggy Doo” was real.   And for the record, he got a puzzle.
