Dallas and I do our best talking in the car during our 45 minute drive home. As a parent, I look forward to these times because I have been made well aware that there will be a time he won't want to talk to me at all. Here's our conversation yesterday.
D: Guess what Mommy?
M: Yes, Dallas?
D: Last night I dreamt that I was a rock star. I played the drums.
M: That sounds like fun.
D: I was thinking that when I grow up, I can be in a rock band.
M: You can do anything you like, Dallas. (Editors note: See what a good mother I am?)
D: Well, Addison can be in it too...she can be the guitar player. And I was thinking you can be in it too.
M: Me? What would I play?
D: (without hesitation) The flute.
M: Hmmm....I guess that's okay. Is Daddy in it? What would he play?
D: (again, without hesitation) Of course, he plays the violin.
M: (chuckling) That sounds like quite a rock band.
D: It is. They'll call us the Prouty Family Rock Band.
M: (Hysterical laughter) Yup....that's what they'll call us.
So, coming soon to an arena near you: THE PROUTY FAMILY ROCK BAND complete with guitars, drums, flutes and violins.
Too bad you guys couldn't get together sooner...I could have had you all to play in the wedding.
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful nephew I haz! Last night all I dreamt about was a book I was reading, page by page by boring page.

Tom, Mark, and Karen play the violin, too. Does he need a larger strings section? Or an understudy? I just play drums and keyboards, nothing cool enough for the Prouty band. :(
