What days? A good day?

Well... Uh, I'm hoping it's going to be a good day.

You can make it good. Get ice cream! That makes me happy.

You know, that sounds like a pretty good idea, if I get a chance I'll get some.

What kind of ice cream makes you happiest?

{smiles} I like chocolate bestest. It gives me a mustache when I eat it.

-chuckles a bit-

Well, Well that's good then. Chocolate is a great choice in ice cream flavors!

I think so too. Its yummy. Whats your favorite?

It is yummy indeed!

-leans down so that he's eye level with the young one-

My favorite? Black Raspberry I think.

Black Raspberry? {brow furrow} But..ice cream isn't sposed to taste like fruit!

-chuckles a bit more-

Well what not? Atleast it doesn't taste like veggies huh?

So, what's your name little buddy?

{giggles} Yeah, veggie tables are gross.

Harold Charles Fozzerelli. My short name is Charlie.

Oh yeah, wicked gross. But, you gotta eat them to grow up strong, after all you can't get all your nutrition -realizes he's talking to a child and gives up trying to explain it.-

That's quite the name Charlie, my names not nearly as interesting, I'm just Gary.

I don't have to grow up strong. I'll just be small all the time. {smiles, feeling accomplished}

I like your name Gary! It is very nice.

Oh yeah? Sometimes I wish I was small and could just play all day like you. -ruffles hair-

And yeah I happen to be a fan of it too.

Why can't you play all day? Do you have a boring job? {giggles again}

-Searches for the right words to explain his job.-

Me? I, uh, I have a very hard job, one where I have to run around all day. So no it's not boring at all, sometimes I wish it was boring. But its a fun job too, most of the time.

{thinks for a moment, then whispers}

Are you a superhero?

-lets his mouth fall a bit and thinks on the correct way to answer that, and decides that he's just a kid.-

Yeah, I guess I am kinda like a superhero, I help save peoples lives all day. -He puts his fingers to his lips-

but its a secret.

Awesome! I won't tell no body. No way! ..Do you fly?

-chuckles and shakes his head-

Uhh, no, though if I could my life would be a lot easier. I'm just a boy like you, but I can do stuff like save people like a superhero.

I can't fly neither. I falled off the roof and broked my leg. That was a loooong time ago. I could help you save people..if ya want.

Ouch fell off the roof huh? Well no more climbing on roofs, you don't want to have any more accidents. And you wanna help huh?

-he shifts a bit and places his hand on his chin as if thinking for a few minutes and then snaps his fingers-

I'll make you my special helper, and I'll give you the most important job at all. Your job as my side kick is to make sure your family stays safe, how about that?

Nope. I won't do that never again. It hurt a lot.

{Bounces excitedly.} I can do that! I think..I gots a big family. But I gotta cape. So, it gives me more strengths. You should get a cape.

I can imagine, I've never fallen off a roof, but I have broken a bone and its not very much fun.

-laughs as he watches the other bounce-

Its good that you have a big family, but I'm sure with you in that cape you can protect them all, I only wish me "Super-powers" had come with a cape, instead they came with a cat.

Really? What did you break?

{wide eyes} A cat?? I looove kitties. Does it have a name?

Well, I've, uh, Broken my arm a couple of times. When I was about your age. Its not much fun at all you're right.

-blinks and then laughs nervously, because in all the time he had the cat he never named him-

My cats name? I never really named him, what do you think is a fitting name for an orange kitty?

You never named him? Poor kitty. {thinks for a moment} Hmmm...I like the name Herbert! I have a bunny Herbert. Or Dino, cause dinosaurs are the bestest things ever.

-Smiles at the name-

You know Herbert sounds like a good name for a cat, how about that. See its not that I didn't name him, its just I didn't have anyone to give me a good name for him.

Now he has a name so I wont have to call him "cat" all the time.

And dinosaurs huh? They are pretty cool, I like the uh, stegosaurus? The ones with the spikes on their backs.

Yay!! Herbert is the bestest name! Its my favorite. I think your cat will like it too.

{giggles} The stegosaurus is a herbivore it only eats gross veggies but it is a cool one. I like the T-rex. It couldn't play catch though cause its got teeny tiny arms. {nods matter-of-factly}

I think he'll love it, not just like it. Because its a very special name.

Is that so? I suppose little arms would make it pretty hard to play catch huh, but I bet with those big legs he'd be pretty good at soccer?

{Smiles, cheeks going a little red} Tell him I say hi!

Yeah! And jump rope. It can jump really really high.

When he comes home tomorrow morning I'll tell him his new name and that a special little boy named Charlie says "Hi." I promise.

Oh yeah, but he's gotta be careful of coming back down when he jumps that high, after all, because he's so big. -finds himself laughing at the young boys antics happily.-

Cool! Thanks a whole lot.

{laughs} Yeah. He could knock down buildings or..put giant holes in the ground!

Oh you're quite welcome buddy.

And thats right, I think its a good thing that you don't have one as a pet then huh, cause he might knock down you house and can you imagine that mess.

You'd be cleaning it for the rest of your life.

I would build a new house! I could also ride on his back to get to places! {starts giggling} I'd have ta potty train him. I don't wanna clean up Giant Poos! {giggles again}
