Last night during our friendly gathering to watch Riftrax, Gertie learned a valuable lesson.
Children are a source of food.
One of my favorite little kiddos was on hand for movie night. He quickly latched on to the idea that I was going to make (eh, burn a little, make a little. It’s all good.) popcorn on the stove.
Recently the boyfriend gave me a giant popcorn ceramic bowl. I lurve it. So did the kid. He pretty much took it over, in fact.
(Ah, a child after my own heart.)
But as he was eating, he would put one in his mouth, give one to Gertie, one in his mouth, one to Gertie. You can see how this quickly endeared my dog to the kid.
I watched, holding my breath as Gertie gingerly took each piece from his hands. She hasn’t spent a lot of time with children and I was thankful that her friendly, non-aggressive manner with adult people seems to be extended to little people.
Good times, good times.
Speaking of good times, this kid I speak of and I are on a mission this weekend.
Yes, his very brave mom is entrusting me with her son for an afternoon adventure to Kansas City’s @Union Station where we will take a tour of the @Narnia Exhibit.
Thanks to Union Station for sending me some tickets. Luckily I have a good friend who will lend me her child for such an outing. Look forward to a full recap of our trip in a future blog post.
Oh, but there is one caveat. She’s sending the 13-year-old babysitter with us too.
And let’s be honest, we all know who the babysitter is really going to have to keep an eye on…
