Oh...Dolores!

I crawled into bed with the Bean for his bedtime story. He picked out his current flavor of the week, Horace and Morris, But Mostly Dolores. I started reading and as soon as we got to the first mention of Dolores, the Bean said, "No, it's Mulva."

Did he just...? I thought. "Say that again," I said to him.

"Mulva," he said matter of factly.

I lost my shit. I started laughing uncontrollably. Tears formed in my eyes.

The Bean recognized the trigger for my hysterics and said it again, "Mulva."

I tried to read the book, but couldn't compose myself.

"Daddy, stop laughing and read the book."

"I...can't," I said and started another fit of hysterics.

Sigh, I miss Seinfeld.

That was a great episode. Will our kids have anything like that when they get older to look back on?

Andrea...They'll have something they love, but it won't be as good.

How did he do that?

DGB said...

SciFi...Isn't it though?

YEO...When he said it, I instantly knew what had happened. The night before, WonderWife™ was reading the book and in an effort to amuse herself, let a "Mulva" slip out.

She later said that the Bean didn't make any mention of it at the time. He just stored it away an unknowingly unleashed it at the best possible time.

Too funny. We need a Seinfeld reunion tour.

Was the book about nothing?

DGB said...

James...It wasn't...not that there's anything wrong with that.
