Conversations with Ben

Ben (first thing out of his mouth when he woke up): You were in my dream last night, Mom.

Mom: Was it a fun dream? What did we do?

Ben: It was right here (pointing to his neck).

Mom: Your dream was in your neck?

Ben: Yes, that is where you were last night.

Holly Dolly Take #1

Ben (first thing out of his mouth when he woke up): Mom, can we go to Holly Dolly to get strawberries today?

Mom: Do you mean Hobby Lobby?

Ben: No, I mean Holly Dolly.

Mom: Where is Holly Dolly? I don’t know that place.

Ben: I don’t know.

Mom: Did you dream about strawberries last night?

Ben: Yes! We went to a place called Holly Dolly to get them. Can we go and get more today?

Holly Dolly Take #2 (over a month later)

Ben: Mom, I want a Holly Dolly.

Mom (remembering the previous conversation and now confused): You want one? What exactly is a Holly Dolly?

Ben: It is a toy for girls.

Mom: What does it look like?

Ben: It is a person with pants that have straps and buttons.

Mom: Overalls?

Ben: Yes!

Mom: Who has a Holly Dolly?

Ben: No one.

Mom: Well, where did you see this?

Ben: It is on Wubbzy (http://www.nickjr.com/wow-wow-wubbzy/)

Sure enough in Season 1, Episode 12 – Widget wants a Hammering Holly Dolly and Wubbzy cannot afford it so he makes her a doll instead. Maybe we can get away with making a “Holly Dolly” . . .
