Vignettes

Scene: Church. Four people are seated in the pew in front of us.
Leo, pointing at each individual in succession: Un, deux, aah, AAH! Un, deux, aah, AAH! Un, deux, aah, AAH!
 (His vocabulary is increasing. Slowly, but surely.)

Scene: Living room, early afternoon on a quiet Sunday. Guy has unhooked the pad of the IKEA chair from the seat, leaving it attached to the top of the frame.

G: Hey, Leo! Wanna play in here?
L: YeeeeeeAAAAHH!
(They both climb onto the chair frame, with the pad draped in front of them and covering them)

G: Let's play rocket ship!
L: YeeeeeeAAAAAHH!
G: Look, there's the moon!
L: aah-aah-aah-aaaah
G: Look at the stars!
L: aahaah-aah-aaaaah!

SCENE: Grocery store, pasta and tomato sauce aisle. Three employees are stocking canned goods immediately to the left of the grocery cart, in which Guy & Leo are seated.

G: STUPID LIST!
Me: Excuse me?
Employees: *snicker snicker*
Me: It's a grocery list, dear.
G: Stupid grocery list!
Employees: Haha!
Me: Guy, if you say stupid again in the grocery store you will not earn a doughnut.

SCENE: Grocery store parking lot, post shopping trip
G: STUPID STUPID STUPID!
Me:  All righty then.

Aaah! I could've use Leo yesterday to vent my frustrations.

Oh how very funny. Not to you at the time I am sure, but that's a great story to have written down. Won't it be just a little bit nice when grocery shopping is routine and boring?

lol! T is saying much more than I care to hear, too. After I remind him he usually says, "Mom, I'm trying not to say it." Right, I'm sure you are!
