MATTHEW ROANE
IS
THE INCREDIBLE...
BAT-FROG!
(at least for today)
Matthew is doing it again...delighting me! Yesterday, while dressed as bat-frog, Matthew asked me to do a puzzle with him. As we arranged fragments of shapes colors into the face of Buzz Light-year, Matthew chattered on about all his favorite parts of Toy Story 3. Ordinarily I would have loved to sit there and listen to him as he explained a movie in his adorable five-year-old lisp, but he wouldn't talk in his own voice, instead he used his new-found "baby" voice picked up at the baby-sitter's. I'm sure I don't have to tell anyone how grating that voice gets after weeks of listening to nothing else.
"Gee, I sure miss my big boy Matthew. I liked the way he talked. I don't really like this baby-talk Matthew at all." I said, matter-of-fact.
Matthew looked up from his puzzle, and stared at me for a moment, pondering, then replied, "I miss my other mommy, the pretty one who wears her hair down, not pulled up in a ball."
tu-che'.
