Around the middle of last week on one afternoon I picked up lil boo from school. It was an oddity to see him behave the way he was….so down…arms dragging along the ground. I was in a state of shock and wondering WTF?
My superexcitedlilmonsterbundleofjazzyjoy just slouched in the classroom.
In comes the Super Daddy.
Sweeping lil boo off the ground to raise him up above the room and cheer this lil dude-a-riffic up I went….
I am telling you nothing I could do would cheer him up….now it’s time for questioning….
What’s a matter, what happened, why are you down, who did what, what did you do, when did this happen, where did it happen…..I feel like I am in English class again….who, what, when, where, why, how?!
Struggling to get an answer out….off we venture into the car….I know…music!!! *Strike*
Hmm….
RACE CAR!!! ZOOOOOOOM>>>>> *Strike Two* (this is called going from zero to 35 as fast as possible with the windows down – does not take much but usually works.)
Then finally out of the wild blue yonder:
I’m sad.
Why?
My friends.
What happened?
My friends they make me sad.
Who?
James.
James?
Yeah, James makes me sad and Percy he makes me sad.
Really now?! *reading between the lines now*
They hurt me.
What?
James and Percy they hurt me but………..Thomas he’s my friend.
I see.
Thomas, James and Percy are all my friends!
Here comes the grin……
Yes, now we have the answer and the little giggle monster comes out from hiding…A Tale of a Tale…lil boo loves Thomas and Friends. The rest of the ride home was great!
Enjoy!
Welcome to the YOB Years. Where all you need is a BIG hug!
