He's Your Son




"Mom, which guitar should I play?"  Cooper asked as he held up an electric in his left hand and an acoustic Buzz Lightyear in his right.

"I like the Buzz guitar" I say.

"I like the electric guitar.  Isn't it cool?"

"Sure, but I like Buzz."

"How about you say you like the cool electric guitar?"

"OK, I like the electric guitar."

"It's OK if you like the Buzz guitar.  Do you want me to play Buzz?  Just say you want me to play Buzz."
"Yes, I like Buzz.  Why don't you play Buzz?"

"Well, actually, when you say you want me to play Buzz, it means you want me to play the electric guitar."

"Coop, do you really need me for this conversation?"

"I don't know.  Should I wear my hunting hat when I play or this one (a fedora)?"

His daddy is in sales and his mama likes to control things.  Is there any wonder?
