Commending Imagination

At the crack of dawn this morning:

Mr. Perpetual Mess (from his bed): Mom! Mama! Mommy! MOM!

Me: What? (spoken groggily, oh so groggily from my bedroom)

Mr. PM: Want to get out!

Me: Honey, you can get out of bed. I took down your gate.

Mr. PM: Can’t. Can’t do it.

Me: Why not, honey?

Mr. PM: There’s a pink alligator in my room.

Me: (more awake now) What?

Mr. PM: Pink Alligator on my floor.

Me: Is he being mean?

Mr. PM: Not really.

Me: Is he hungry?

Mr. PM: Wants breakfast.

Me: What does he like to eat?

Mr. PM: red lemons.

Ok then, I’ll get right on that.
