Christmas: a RAT!!!

Thursday, December 30th, we woke up to a beautiful, cold, Tulsa morning. Cole and Papaw were playing and exploring the garage and house. Mom was making breakfast. And the rest of us were there somewhere getting ready for the day.

At breakfast, all Cole is talking about is this rat and how it was in Papaw's shoe but no longer there and how he was going to play golf with it. It's make believe, right?? Surely. Like I said in another post, Cole loves to talk and there is usually some truth in his stories and of course some make believe. He's two. So he goes on and on, 30 minutes or more. The entire time we are eating. Finally, it is so funny and we realize, why aren't we recording this?? So Brent gets the camera. And this is how the story goes (with a little coaching, since he had already told the entire story off the record)...



Watch the end of the first video very closely...my dad is about to come around the corner. We turned the camera off just 5 seconds too early. We started recording again, because this was just too good...




Papaw's Reenactment: The Full Story


The moral of the story is if your two year says he saw a rat, then you should probably look around a little and not just think it is just a story. He wouldn't let it go and still is talking about it. It may have not been an actual rat, but definitely in that family group and is something I know my mom does not want in her house!
