Foster Funnies

My sister told me I should write this one down, but I'm kind of embarrassed as it reveals that Dave and I are not as sneaky as we think.

As I got Christopher ready for bed after his birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese, he was pretty sure his birthday couldn't be over. When I told him it really was over he got very adamant that Thomas was supposed be at his birthday. As he does not have any friends named Thomas, nor do we, this was very puzzling to me. I asked him several times who he was talking about and he repeatedly said, "Thomas."

Finally, in desperation, I said, "What does Thomas look like?"

"He's blue," came the immediate response.

"Thomas the tank engine!?!"

"Yes!"

Had to back pedal fast when it dawned on me he must have heard Dave and I discussing possible presents - who knew the engine named Edward from the same show wouldn't suffice?

At dinner tonight Gunnar suggested that Trey could try to pick up girls by flexing his biceps and using the come on line, "Somebody get some duct tape - I'm ripped."
