Mistaken Identity

While watching Sesame Street…

Me:  “Lucas, look…IT’S BIG BIRD!”

Lucas:  (points at television)  ”MAMA!”

Me:  “Ummmm, no Lucas that’s BIG BIRD.”

Lucas:  “MAMA!!

Me:  “BIG BIRD”

Lucas:  “MAMA”

Me:  “Lucas, Mama isn’t a big yellow bird.  Mama is a tall person…not a tall bird.  Mama is here, Big Bird is on Sesame Street on the television.”

Lucas:  (pointing at television) “MAMA!”

Sigh…At least he didn’t mistake me for Oscar the Grouch.  Silver lining.

TWO HOURS LATER

Harrison: “Hey Meggan, did you know that every time Lucas sees Big Bird on TV he says Mama.  Like right now….”

Lucas:  “MAMA!”

Harrison:  “Awesome.”
