Harper and I went to Petco for their grand opening at the Tulsa Hills shopping center. We had so much fun petting the dogs, looking at the fish and dreaming about taking a bird home with us. Well, Harper was dreaming about it... I told him he could have one when he turns 5.
They had a clown there making balloon animals. When it was Harper's turn, he told him he wanted a yellow teddy bear. Reasonable for a 3 year old, right? The clown said, "If you want a teddy bear, you should go back to bed. I'll make you something you'll really like!" Excuse me? So we stood there and watched while he made a Spiderman. I said, "He doesn't know or care anything about Spiderman. He asked for a yellow teddy bear." So he gave the Spiderman to the boy in line behind Harper and said, "I know what I'll make." Then he goes into the process of making a green balloon ball. He puts it inside a long, clear balloon and twists it with a long black balloon. Then tops it with a green alien head. This is NOT a yellow teddy bear. We had somewhere to be, so I just said whatever and we left. Harper was disappointed to not get the yellow teddy bear, but he was happy to just have a balloon.
But when the clown was putting the green balloon ball into the clear balloon he had Harper blow it and he asked, "What are the magic words?" I figured Harper would say hocus pocus, since he knows those from the Mickey Mouse Club, but he didn't. He said, "Please and Thank You". Ha! The mom behind me said, "Good Job, Mom!"
