I encountered this:
...and no Dylan in sight. Then I heard a little giggle from the recently emptied toy cupboard; which upon inspection revealed this:
When I asked him, Dylan explained that the hand prints (which he made super early in the morning without permission) were meant to scare me because it was a sort of indicator that he had been kidnapped to an alternate universe. Apparently the toy cupboard was the portal from which he returned.
Lately Dylan has developed quite a penchant for trying to get a dramatic reaction from his poor mama. This is only the latest in a string of pseudo disappearances or death scenes orchestrated for my benefit alone. I must say that it's been a good practice for me because I no longer experience chilling panic when I see Dylan prostrated out on the floor; I just assume he's going for the "reaction thrill" once again.
I really must give him some serious props for his creativity with this particular scenario however; what a genius wee rascal my son is!
That is so cute!!! Oh how I miss my imagination...
ReplyDeleteYou do every now and then give him the reaction he is trying for though don't you??? I mean imagine the reaction you would get if you let out a blood curtling scream because your son is "dead" or "gone". Hehehehe!
Ha ha!! He is very creative!
ReplyDeleteThat's very, very cool. Chilling.
ReplyDeleteIn all honesty, I was a little freaked out at first. It was just not something you expect to see when you walk into your 6 year old's room. Dylan does have quite an imagination!
ReplyDeleteWhat an enchanting imagination! Do we perhaps sense the next M. Knight Shyamalan in the making? ;)
