Last night we were watching the beginning of Extreme Makeover Home Edition. They had a giant robot fire breathing dragon thing that was destroying an old house. Connor was staring at the TV wide-eyed and I started thinking "jeez, that's probably really scary for him to be seeing".
So, trying to be a good mother I say, "Connor, you don't have to be afraid about what you're seeing. That dragon is tearing down that house because it is old and yucky. The people who live there asked him to come and do it so that they can build a brand new one. He won't ever come and do that to our house. We're safe here".
Connor looks and me like I'm an idiot and says, "I love that dragon breaking the house and making fire with his mouth...I want to go and see him".
From that time until bed he could not stop asking to go and play with the fire-breathing-house-destroying dragon. He is such a boy.

every time i watch that show all i want to do is cry! i can't believe that house that the family was living in! it was hardly a house! ty pennington annoys me to no end...but i LOVE that show.
Don't forget that I had to rewind it over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over (ok I think you get the point) so Connor could watch it again and again.
Boys are so funny in that way and you are a good mother!
