Little Dude is 6. He loves; Super Mario Bros., mac and cheese, golden (caffeine free) Pepsi, happy meals, legos, kickball, his Wii and his family. He does not love; the dark, the fact that he has to sleep alone (he really can't wrap his mind around why Tim and I get to sleep in the same bed, especially because we are "grown ups" and he is "just a little kid"), the smell of mushrooms being sauteed or wearing clothes. Seriously, as soon he walks in the door after school he starts removing articles of clothing. He refuses to sleep in his pajamas and insists on wearing nothing but his underwear. His favorite Sunday morning activity is sitting on the arm of the couch while playing any of his Wii video games while wearing nothing but his underwear, bed head and a smile. That's exactly what he was doing this morning when there was a knock on the door. The adorable little girl from next door (she's 7 and I lovingly refer to her as Punky Brewster) wanted to come inside to play with Little Dude. My sister let her in without warning Little Dude. It was at this time that I received a phone call from Tim since I'm at work. He was laughing as he explained to me the string of events unfolding in our household. Little Dude hollered at both Tim and my sister and asked, "Why would you guys do this to me???" all while trying to burrow under the couch pillows. Punky thought it was great and couldn't stop giggling. Little Dude begged her to go into a different room. Luckily, she did and Tim was nice enough to run outside and grab a pool towel so Little Dude could cover up make a mad dash to his room and his clothes. After he got wrapped up in the towel he ran through the living room, down the hallway and towards his room. He was moving pretty quickly but apparently he wasn't fast enough. Punky decided to take advantage of Little Dude's predicament and chose to have fun with the situation by yelling in her sing-song voice, "Hey, I can still see your underwear!!!!". Maybe Little Dude will re-think this whole wearing clothes thing. But, I doubt it.
(notice his lack of clothing in this picture and the Wii screen in the background. LOL!)
