Little Plock and I had some special time last week.
He loves to go out to eat, especially when ice cream is involved.
This is the way it went, at our local Friendlys.
Hostess- Table for two?
Little Plock- Yes, could we have a booth?
Hostess- Of course! Kevin will be over to take your order shortly.
Little P- I have to hit the tank!
Pickers- The what?
LP- You know the bathroom!
Pickers- Don't let me stop you!
Kevin- May I .........(LP races past him) take you drink order?
Pickers- ( laughing) Sorry about that, he's desperate! I'll have an iced tea and........
LP- (racing back) ...and I'll have a coke!
Pickers- That was fast!
Kevin- (laughing) I'll be right back with your drinks.
LP- No hurry (he gets out his crayons and starts to draw a tic tac toe board on the place mat)
Let's play! Guess what I'm making?
Pickers- Waffles?
LP- (snorts) No!
Pickers- I give up! What is it?
LP- Tic Tac Toe! Wanna play?
Pickers- I like that game where you draw a picture and I try to guess what it is.
LP- Ookay, but I'm first!
Pickers- ( sneezing) Acchhooo!
LP- Bless you Mom.
Pickers- Thanks, LP.
LP- Don't mention it........Now what do you think this is?
( He is drawing a bi-plane)
Pickers- A stick?
LP- NO!
Pickers- A fish?
LP- NO!
Pickers- The Statue of Liberty on top of Mt. Everest?
LP- NO! (laughing)
Pickers- Wisconsin?
LP- ( still laughing) Can't you see the wings?
Pickers- Okay, now I know it's most definitely Winnie the Pooh!
LP- It's a bi- plane! ( laughing ) Okay, your turn now!
Pickers- Alrighty, but you'll never guess what this is in a million years! ( I draw a line and
a few squiggles ).
LP- Umm....a stick?
Pickers- Wrong!
LP- A jump rope?
Pickers- Uh uh!
LP- I give up! What is it?
Pickers- Wisconsin!
LP- ( laughing hysterically) Your turn again! Do another one Mom!
( I draw a fish)
Pickers- There you go! And you'll never get this one!
LP- A fish?
Pickers- Rats!
LP- Your turn again!
Pickers- Again? Okay! But this time you're getting a really, really, really hard one!
( I draw a circle)
LP- The moon!
Pickers- Nope!
LP- A cookie?
Pickers- Wrongo!
LP- A Frisbee?
Pickers- Not even close!
LP- The Statue of Liberty?
Pickers- Ha ha! You'll never guess!
LP- Wisconsin!
Pickers- Wrong again!
LP- I give up ! What is it?
Pickers- A map.......of how to get to Wisconsin!
LP- ( giggling beyond control)
Kevin- Here you are! ( He sets our drinks down, takes our order, and leaves)
LP- Mom?
Pickers- Yes, LP?
LP- I love you all the way to the moon!
Pickers- I love you more than candy!
LP- I love you more than everyone in the whole world!
Pickers- And I love you more than Wisconsin!
