Spring time temperatures have allowed us to have our windows open quite a bit lately. Not only is it wonderful having the windows open for fresh air, it is also quite entertaining. Nearly always (outside of school hours or when it's dark outside) there is a group of little boys ranging in age from 4-9 years old that are playing outside in the common area of our apartment complex. They are full of attitude and imagination. Here is just a sample of we we have heard over dinner the last couple of nights...
Situation #1: The group of boys are running around playing tag, keep away, or something of the like. One of the boys tags the youngest of the group...who is probably 5 or 6 years old therefore he is "it." The boy that got
tagged then proceeds to chase after everyone else yelling at the top of his lungs in a zombie-like tone "I AM
CHUCKY THE EVIL DOLL!!" Travis and I cracked up!! Now I understand the need for the intimidation factor since he is younger and smaller...but how on earth does this kid know WHO
Chucky the evil doll is??
Chucky's last movie came out in 2004 so he may not have even been born yet! Poor kid probably has had nightmares of that devil of a doll all because his mom and dad don't wait until he is in bed to break out the 1990's horror films...
Situation #2: The group of boys are sitting in a small circle taking turns on their little handheld video games. All of the sudden one of the boys bursts out angrily "FINE!!! YOU AREN'T GONNA BE INVITED TO MY BIRTHDAY PARTY... (3 second pause)...AND IT WAS
GONNA BE AT
CHUCKY CHEESE!!" This poor little guy then runs away from the group towards his apartment (probably on his way to cry to his mom) when one of the other boy's yells after him "HEY COLE...CALEB SAID YOUR MOM IS STUPID!" The accused boy quickly follows with "NO I DIDN'T!!" Our picked on friend stops in his tracks, turns back towards the group and runs as fast as his little legs will take him while GROWLING! I guess the "your momma" jokes don't go over well even at a young age...PRICELESS!
