Actual Conversation with Duke
January 22nd, 2008On our way to pick up bagels:
Duke: Mama, we are doing teamwork.
(Teamwork is something they are teaching them at school and I’m thrilled to see he brings it home with him.)
Me: Yes, Buddy, we are doing teamwork.
Duke: We’re a good team.
Me: The best.
Duke: Mama and Duke ROCK.
Me: Yes, we do.
(Then I cried with joy and wondering if I could eat him up because he would taste much better than a bagel.)
Duke: Mama, don’t be sad.
Me: Buddy, I’m not sad. I couldn’t be happier. Sometimes Mama cries when she’s happy and you saying that we ‘ROCK’ just made me happy.

Duke: Ok. Now, can we turn right, PLEASE??

I can so hear that conversation! I, on the other hand, got from Her Majesty last night, “I don’t think so, young lady. Whoops, let me rethink that last part.” I guess I no longer rock.
