The other night during our regularly scheduled session of scripture study, Chugger-dude, my practical six year old, was keeping close tabs on his father, Q-dawg.
You see, Q-dawg is expert at slipping in words like "hippopotamus" and "abominable" when he is helping the younger ones say their scriptures. Pipalicious has picked up on it, so will be careful not to say the inevitable "abominably" at the end of each verse she recites back after her father...unless she is not paying attention.
Well, Chugger-dude, ever the chivalrous one, has joined Pipalicious in her efforts to foil their father's attempt to change the scriptures. So, back to the other night, Q-dawg "read" aloud something like, "...and left the body...abominably." And before Pipalicious could recite it back, Chugger-dude cried out, "Don't do it!!!! It says 'buddy' STOP nothing!! There isn't any more! 'Buddy' STOP and then there is nothing else!!" Whew. He saved the day on that one.
I think Chugger-dude is still reeling from the trauma of being told that Q-dawg is reading "Island of the Blue Sharks", despite the fact that Chugger-dude keeps pointing out that "sharks" does NOT begin with a "D". Our poor children.
