Tommy is currently down the street swimming at a friend's house. Charlie's asleep. I've been just hanging out and watching a movie on Netflix. How cool is that? I even let Tommy walk over there by himself.
Before he was invited over to swim, Tommy decided to put together a Scooby Doo quiz game for me. It was quite elaborate. He drew little pictures of each member of the gang, cut them out, and put them in a bowl. He was the host, so he shook the bowl and pulled out a picture to determine the subject for the question.
My first question was about Velma. He said, "In the sea monster episode, Velma said they were visiting a) the Great Hair Reef b) the Great Wall Reef or c) the Great Barrier Reef. I blurted out the answer (c) and was then chastized for not waiting for the thinking countdown. "One Scooby Doo, Two Scooby Doo, Three Scooby Doo, Four Scooby Doo, Five Scooby Doo, And your answer is?" Needless to say, I got it right.
He was so funny. He took the whole thing quite seriously, and tried to make me watch illuminating scenes from his DVDs when I got a question wrong. He spent a lot of time on the pictures and managed to come up with interesting questions for each character.
And people say TV rots your brain.
I remember you being the "Captain" of the ship in front of your big chalk board and making Ben do his part over and over again until he got it right:). Hmmm. Something about apples, trees, falling, not far...
