Okay, maybe we need to pull back on watching the Tony Awards so much
July 9, 2009I’ve previously discussed how we let Besh watch the Tony Awards with us and some of his advice for the performers people on the stage. But yesterday I realized that maybe we need to cut back slightly on the Tony watching.
It was actually the second sign. The first sign was on Sunday afternoon when he requested to watch the beginning of the Tony Awards. So we put it on and he proceeded to recite the entire first 30 minutes. Every word. Meaning every song, then the voiceover announcement, then Neil Patrick Harris’ opening monologue, then Jane Fonda announcing the nominees and even the winner of the first award. Let me repeat–he recited EVERY WORD along with the broadcast. It was both hilarious and disturbing.
Then yesterday, on my drive home from work, Besh and I had this conversation on the phone.
Mommy: “Besh, tell Daddy what you told me today.”
Besh: “Oh, yes. Daddy, let’s go to the airport and get on a plane and fly to New York City.”
Me: “You want to go to New York City?”
“Yes. And we can go to the theater and see Liza Minelli and then bring her back home with us.”
“You want to bring Liza Minelli back home with us?”
“Yes. We can take her to Pajamba Juice and she can get a moo moo.” [Beshisms for Jamba Juice and a smoothie, respectively]
“What kind of moo moo do you think Liza Minelli would get?”
“Well, she would probably want a strawberry moo moo.”
“That is a tasty moo moo.”
“But she could have blueberry or banana or peach or anything.”
“She can have any moo moo she wants?”
“Oh yes. Because we love her.”
At the very least, by documenting this I’m at least giving Besh the ability to print these posts out and provide them directly to the therapist in a couple decades. Or beam them into the therapist-computer or whatever they’ll be doing those days.
I forgot to tell you that, when he originally conveyed his Liza Minelli-smoothie plan to me, he said we needed to go get her at The Palace (the theater in which she starred in her recent show).
