Road Trip

Next week we are going over the river and through the woods to grandma's house for Thanksgiving. I realized yesterday that I hadn't yet told Sam about the trip.

"Hey Sam, did you know we're going on a road trip to Grandma Becky's next week?

"No."

"It'll be our first road trip in the minivan. We can play games and draw and read. I'm going to buy a book," I told him. Before we hand them a bag of Pixy Stix and pop in a DVD, I thought I would buy the first Harry Potter book to read aloud.

He was silent so I asked him if he was excited.

"Yes, I can't wait to get the butt," he said.

"What?"

"The butt. You said you were going to buy me a butt."

"No, I said a book. I said I was going to buy you a book."

"Oh. Then, no, I'm not excited."
