Friday night I babysat Zoe and Vincent. After doing the whole "going to bed" ritual, Zoe's out and Vincent is completely awake, adding background vocals to Over the Rainbow. I take him out with me, we play a spirited 20 minutes of I'm gonna getchya and he passes out on the couch. Three hours later, he wakes while I'm watching the original Planet of the Apes starring Charlton Heston. V's real quiet for 10 minutes, then he leans over to me and whispers, "Monkeys." Yes, Vincent, talking monkeys. 15 minutes later he turns to me and says, "So Cool!"
Yeppers. Sitting around late night watching B movies, today you are a man.
Charlton Heston, dead today, at 84.
Go in Peace
I look forward to you teaching the V-Man how to burp the alphabet. I get teary-eyed thinking about the day I taught the Boon. It was a special Mother-Daughter moment...
