Monsters

Henry has a new favorite book. It's called The Big Book of Big Monsters. 

I knew he was pretty hooked on it when he started running up to people he didn't even know and asking "Do you know what a Yeti is?" 

Here are a few other random interchanges that have occurred since this book entered our lives:

Me: "Henry do you want to get a frosty after we pick Charlotte up from school?"
H: "a frost giant? That's preposterous!"
Me: "no, a frosty is ice cream, not a mythical monster"
H: "oh yes! I do want one of those!"

We were at the gym and I went to childcare to pick Henry up. He didn't want to leave and one of the ladies watching him tried to help by saying, "Look how dark it is outside. It's almost bedtime." Henry looked her right in the eye and said "it's not bedtime, Skoll just swallowed the sun." 

Lady to her son: "Look Kyle, that little boy has an octopus and a pirate ship on his shirt"
Kyle giggled and showed Henry his fistful of pirate coins
Henry to lady: "It's not an octopus, it's a Kraken"
Lady: "Oh... What is that?"
Henry: "A creature of legend that attacks ships"
Kyle (pointed to his coins, the pirate ship, and then to the kraken) : "booty, shit, crack"

I apologized to Kyle's mom for Kyle's new phrase, although I probably shouldn't have joked that this may be a good reason to practice making "P" sounds.
