scripts and scraps from my real-life parenting sitcom
Luke: | [age 9] "Have you met Joey and Bobby?"
|
Me: | "Ummm... no."
|
Luke: | [raises his arms] "Here's Joey, and here's Bobby!"
|
Me: | "You named your armpits?"
|
Luke: | "They really have a lot of character, so I decided to give them their own names."
|
Me: | "Did you name any other body parts?"
|
Luke: | [pulls up shirt, pats his stomach] "Yes, this is Josephine."
|
Me: | "You know Josephine is a girl's name, right?"
|
Luke: | "Of course. It has to be a girl, though, because she gave birth to Ebenezer and Lucy Anne." [pulls up shirt further to reveal chest nipples]
|
Me: | [rolling eyes] "That's, um.... very creative. Dare I ask if you have named any other body parts?"
|
Luke: | "I can't answer that without taking off my pants." |
