Mommy: "So, how was everyones day?""Good"(they reply in unison.)
Ben: "Except for that I almost cried in music class."
Mommy: "Oh really...why?"(said with some concern.)
Ben: "Have you ever heard the song "Puff the Magic Dragon"?"
Mommy: "Oh....yes, I've heard that song...kinda sad, right?"
Ben: "I was on the verge of tears."
Mommy: "What was it about the song that made you feel sad?"
Ben: "When the little boy grows up and never sees the dragon again."
Mommy: "Yes...that part is sad."
Abby Sue: "Well Ben, than you will cry your eyes out when you read "Where the Red Fern Grows."
Ben: "I don't think I will."
Abby Sue: "Yes you will. The dogs get attacked and die."
Ben: "That is not as sad as never seeing your dragon again."
obviously losing a dragon trumps losing a dog Abby Sue, sheesh! :) Love it!
ReplyDeleteHe is all boy, yet with a sprinkle of tender heart. Dog dies, hey thats life, but NOT seeing your dragon that will pull at your heart. He is the perfect package for a very special young woman one day!!!
