Poor Donkey
Date of occurrence:
June 14, 2018.
We finished supper and are watching TV. Commercials come on and Opa looks at Leo, who is sitting across from him.
Leo: "What?"
Opa starts talking gibberish and both Leo and Emmaly have a puzzled look on their faces. As Opa continues, they figure out he is making fun and Leo immediately pitches in. They have a very lively dialogue and Leo even throws in both hands.
After a little while, Opa says: "And now I will teach you to talk like an Indian (Native American)."
Leo is down with that and pays close attention.
Opa, in a low voice: "Many moons ago, buffalo came. Moon passes and buffalo go. Now we smoke peace pipe."
Opa folds his arms and sternly looks at Leo.
Leo folds his arms too, gives Opa a serious look back and says: "Now, we burn donkey."
Emmaly and I laugh out loud and even Opa breaks character. It's too funny and we have no clue where that came from.
I have a slight suspicion though. Since Leo is always hungry, he would eat a horse if we let him. I suppose, after a substantial supper, he won't be able to stomach a horse anymore.
But a donkey will do! Grin.
