Discerning daughter
Puppychild likes to watch DVDs as she falls alseep, it’s a wicked habit, I know that. I plan to put a stop to it as soon as I can figure out how…
…anyway normally she’d ask for Cinderella or the Care Bears or some Godawful crud like that but tonight she impressed me no end;
“Mommy?” (shouted from the top of the stairs)
“Yes-see?”
“Wanna watch?”
“What you wanna watch?”
“King Arthur. King of the Brittins!”
Now you’d expect a child of three years of age to produce many clear words relating to stuff she knows through endless practice, but these knocked me for six altogether - turns out she watches this film sometimes with her dad while I’m at work and is well impressed with the Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog. I went to the bookshelf and found it - Monty Python’s The Holy Grail.
She loves this film a little bit too much.
I’m waiting for that day though… that day when I find myself having to man-handle her in the supermarket for wanting to trolleyseat-surf, and for her to shout for all to hear…
“Help! Help! I’m being repressed! Come see the violence inherent in the system!”
Ahh. It’s good to see the apple hasn’t fallen far from the nnNi.
