You look very handsome

Snippets of conversation on a Sunday afternoon with GIRL & BOY

Mommy can you help me with my cape? asks GIRL.

Mommy, how do I look? - GIRL dressed in cape, tiara, paint splattered shirt with her name label from church, "GIRL," still stuck across her chest, striped leggings, Princess shoes and a purse.

Is BOY dressing up? - I ask.

He isn't dressing up. He's handsome.- replies GIRL.

BOY, how do I look?

You look cool, GIRL. Very cool. - says BOY now dressed in pajamas.

You look very handsome. - states GIRL.

I don't look handsome.

Yes, you do.

BOY, the wedding is starting. - says GIRL.

Oh, I can't dance, because I have my PJs on. --the not so mournful BOY.

Tomorrow it's going to be a rain storm. Today, can you dance? - asks GIRL.

GIRL, I feel kind of, a little bit...TIRED. - states BOY, going to lie down on his bed and pulling the covers over his head.

GIRL starts singing the dance music: La, la, la, la...

BOY leaves the room as GIRL says, Don't worry. It's only a dance for girls.

*****************

It's TOMORROW, BOY! - shouts GIRL.

OK, gotta go. GIIRRRRRL, I see all my friends.- Says BOY.

........................suspicious silence for a bit and then:

We're painting. Oh, we have to wash our hands. - BOY.

Come ON, BOY!

I'm dirty. It's too big a mess. - BOY

Dirty? BOY complaining about too big a Mess?


......JCK awakens from eavesdropping on the delightful conversation between her children and goes to investigate. They have been painting. With blue toothpaste. On the window trim in the bathroom.

***********

Let me look in the mirror and see how I look. - says BOY.

You look great, BOY!

I look RIDICULOUS!! - states BOY.

And he's off....

Apparently the combination of being handsome, some dancing obligations, and a certain look were too much for BOY. He's out the door. Just him and the great outdoors. Safe from girls.
