Subject: How was school?
As we are walking home from the bus stop on Monday afternoon, I ask the usual--
"How was school, did you behave?"
Spenser sensing this as opportunity to improve upon his already great story telling skills, begins to speak, with a twinkle in his eye.
"I got in trouble."
"You got in trouble? For what?"
"I got in trouble for yodeling...."
"What?"
"I got in trouble for yodeling."
"You were yodeling?"
"Yes, I went, 'yodel-lay-yodel-lay-yodel-lay-yodel-lay-he-whoooooo!"
"Uhhhh"
"Teacher told me not to yodel-lay-he-who anymore."
"You yodeled?"
"Yeah."
"Why did you yodel?"
"Just felt like it."
"And you got in trouble?"
"Yes."
"Did you keep yodeling, and that is why you got in trouble?"
"No, mom, I yodeled once and the teacher said no more yodel-lay-he-whoing."
"Oh.....Are you serious? Cause I will talk to the teacher and find out."
"Yep, I am serious."
"Hmmmm."
He turns around and walks to his room. Meanwhile I am picking my jaw up off the floor. Completely speechless, because he was yodeling. Where the hell did he learn to yodel? Why the hell did he decide to yodel in class?
He comes back out, a glimmer in his eye.
"What Spenser?"
"nothing"
He stalks off again. This is sooooo weird. Maybe I should buy him lederhosen? So bizarre.
Fast forward to the evening.
"Tell daddy why you got in trouble today"
"I didn't get in trouble."
"What, you told me you got in trouble."
"no"
"Spenser what about the yodeling?"
Rob--"Yodeling? What yodeling?"
"I told mom I got in trouble for yodeling."
Me--"Well?"
"I was just tricking Mom! Got you!"
Jaw drops off my face.
I have a jokester. A really good jokester. I am in trouble.
Yodel-lay-he-who all!
