LOVE EVIDENTLY. EVENTUALLY. SERIOUSLY?
A man
is sleeping on the couch. A little boy, sitting on the floor beside him, takes
his little fingers slowly to the man’s face. Poking his fingers, he opens the
man’s left eye.
The
man feels the finger on his eye and smiles.
“Dada,
you awake. Good.”
A
couple of small fingers go and open one green eye again.
“Dada,
can we have a flamingo?”
“Hum? Wha?”
“I want flamingo. Can we have one?”
“A
flamingo pj?.”
Two
up front teeth have fallen from the little boy’s giggly mouth.
"No. A flamingo."
"You mean a real flamingo?"
“Ye dada. I wanna
flamingo."
"When?"
"Now, oviously.”
“Now?
You want a famingo now? At 7.09pm? Are you pregnant?"
Dada
puts his arms around the littleboy and pulls him up. The little boy jumps to his
daddy’s arms. He lays his head on his chest and daddy holds him close.
“ PJ no, dada. A
flamingo.”
“How
about a tie with flamingos?
“A
tie? What a tie?
“You’re
so lucky you don’t have to know what THAT is!”
Daddy
grabs something from the floor.
“Ta-ta-ra-raaaaaa!
Presenting: a tie. Tie
meet Connor. Connor meet tie.”
Dada
shakes tie and speaks with a squeaky voice:
“Yooooo C. What’s tieing?”
“Yooooo C. What’s tieing?”
