Tub Talk

Even though Drew and Porter are seven, they still play in the bathtub together almost every night. Standing outside the door and eavesdropping can be entertaining.

Porter: “You can’t shoot me ’cause I am GOD!”

Drew: “I can shoot you anyway.”

(pause)

Drew: “Actually, I can’t, ’cause God is a spirit.”

Porter: “Yeah, he is a spirit, and you can’t shoot him, not even his feet.”

Drew: “He doesn’t have feet.”

Porter: “Yes, he does. God has two feet.”

Drew: “He is a spirit and he does not have feet or a nose.”

Porter: “He does too have feet, and he wears tennis shoes.”

Drew: “No he doesn’t. He wears sandals.”

Porter: “Well, you still can’t shoot him in the foot.”

Drew: “Okay, then you be Saddam Hussein and I will shoot you.”

Porter: “Okay.”

Drew: “Pow! Pow!”

Porter: “AAGGHH! I am Saddam Hussein and the soldier shot me in the foot! Where are my bad guys? I need help!”

Drew: “They are not coming to help you because I am GOD!”

Porter: “No you aren’t.”

Drew: “For pretend I am.”

Porter: “Okay.”

(pause)

Porter: “Hey, let’s do the trick where I be a bridge and you swim under me.”

Drew: “Yeah, and then we’ll play dirty baby.”

   I love “tubby time,” though now I’m getting anatony lessons from B about who has a penis and who doesnt. “Dad has a penis. Mom doesnt. Raffi has a penis. Laurie Berkner does not.”

   On another note, Anne, email me b/c I want to write to you about something you posted to me… but I can’t find your email address on your site.

   That sounds so creepy and I’m sure I’m blind.

   Your kids need to come with a built-in laugh track. Seriously, they say some of the funniest things I’ve ever heard. How do you keep a straight face around them? And when do you have time to read any books? I’m in awe!

   Anne, your kids are awesome. You should write a book on parenting so, when I eventually become a mom, I can have as much fun as you.
