Luke (3 1/2 yrs.) overheard his father and I having a conversation in the car. Without thinking, I made mention of the coyotes that we often hear behind our house at night. Luke piped up, "Mom, did you say we have coyotes?!" Not wanting him to be worried about coyotes outside our house, thus adding to his already vast nightmare material, I said the only thing I could think of that sounded like coyote. "No baby," I lied. "I said we have..peyote."
There just aren't enough words that rhyme with coyote.
PS: If my blogging is scarce next week it is due to the fact that we will be rocking Disney World for eight days. Please pray that I don't lose my mind and purchase a bunch of Disney themed clothing. Cheers!
You know he'll only remember that word in a very few instances. Probably he'll remember it in the doctor's office and at church and stading in line behind state troopers at any given fast food joint!
