Hilarious Mom Moment

I've had strep and (yesterday) a 24-hour migraine. Yes, it's been a lovely weekend.

It's also been a weekend full of sitting on the couch and watching movies (don't judge).

The toddler has just started getting to where he will watch movies. He loved Despicable Me because of all the rockets, and so I thought he would enjoy How to Train Your Dragon because of all the fire. (In case you don't know of my son's obsession, he talks about fire all.the.time.)

In the movie, the young boy brings fish to his pet dragon, "Toothless."

Well, we have a vent between our bedroom door and the garage door. And when the heater comes on, we laugh and say, "It sounds like a dragon in there." We've gotten used to it; it's one of the precious home noises that no longer freaks us out.

We had finished the movie, and I had shuffled into the kitchen to stare at the enormous mess around me (who wants to clean when you're sick!?). The next thing I knew, the toddler came in and asked, "More goldfish?" I obliged and gave him the goldfish, not thinking anything of it.

Lo and behold, he takes a goldfish, crosses the living room, and holds it out to the vent saying, "Hi, dragon. Hi, dragon."

I couldn't really burst out laughing because I felt so sick, but it was hilarious! He timidly pressed the goldfish right up to the vent, to our own "dragon" who comes on when it's cold outside.

Is there anything more fun or more hysterical than having a toddler? I don't think so! :)
