but what about optimus prime and bumble bee?
March 31st, 2009On our way into school this morning, Christian informed me that he will perform a play for me tonight *provided* I take on the role of ’starscream’ and he will be ‘megatron’. I am thrilled that I will be entertained later this evening by taking part in my son’s first play. A play in which he scripted by watching the Transformers cartoon many, many times. Since I have absorbed some of the cartoon as well I ask:
“But what about optimus prime and bumble bee?” Thinking he can include his little sister in the play…
to this Christian responds:
“Mommy, I tell you what to play. Dietrich will be ‘optimus prime’ and Ben will be ‘bumble bee’. They are coming to my house tonight. We are going to have chicken and chocolate milk and play Transformers. You can watch or you can be ’starscream’.”
“But what about Mary?”
“She can be ‘bulkhead’.”
It turns out that when we arrived at school, Christian had invited his friends to our house the day before. Quite the social butterfly. I’m so glad to be included, but will have to cut short the invites not cleared with parental units. Hopefully he’ll still want to perform. Perhaps Nala and Doe can be the understudys for Dietrich and Aeden tonight…
