One of the few movies Grafton has watched is the Sound of Music. All of the singing and dancing and beautiful scenery really catches his attention. This afternoon, Grafton found the DVD insert on his bookshelf and handed it to his Dad. So I asked him if he'd like to watch the movie, and of course he said yes, and started to walk downstairs with the insert in hand. So we threw in the DVD and started the show. Mom came home as it was starting and joined Grafton on the couch. They watched together, while I began cooking dinner. After dinner was in the oven, I came in to the den, and reacting to the music started tap dancing (with flailing arms) right in front of Grafton. Grafton, who was heretofore attentively watching the movie, started to scowl, quite clearly annoyed that someone was blocking his view of the TV. Realizing that I wasn't going to move out of his way on my own, Grafton finally makes eye contact, glaring up at me, points a stern finger down at the couch and barks out, "Silly Daddy! You sit down on the couch!"
Neva and I burst out laughing, of course, but I heeded his request. Admittedly, my dancing is not as entertaining as the musical numbers in the Sound of Music, so Grafton was quite justified in making his demand.
