Serif's latest thing is role play. We can no longer sit and read books quietly one after another without having to stop and act out the story. It's a lot of fun and he's so creative with his character.
Tonight when it was time to read, he went into character, made 2 fists with pulled up curled index fingers and in a mean Captain Hook kind of voice, said, "I have hookers!"
I obviously laughed and tried to keep my mind focused on his character and not where my mind seemed to automatically take me. After playing around a minute and reading our 3 bedtime books it was time to turn out the moonlight. He raised up his "hooker" hands and said, "Mommy, will you turn out the light because I have hookers."
After laughing out loud a minute and then pulling myself together I asked him if he could just call them hooks or hook hands. I hope I didn't embarrass him but after that he said, "No, I will just call them hands." I typically like to explain things to him but that one . . . ? I couldn't think quickly enough to explain on his level so we just moved on to our lights out and prayer. Ha!
