A week or so ago Zach had some head congestion & and a sore throat. Nothing serious but it was keeping him from going to sleep that night. Ben was already asleep and Ian was watching tv so I let Zach lay in bed with me hoping it would help him go to sleep. He decided that this was a great time to have a rather lengthy conversation with me about anything and everything that came into his head. Here is one of those random thoughts.
Zach: "Mom, you know those dogs that you see on tv that sick people have?"
Me: "You mean the dogs that help people who can't see or are in a wheelchair?"
Zach:"Yeah, I need one of those."
Me: "Why, do you need one...because you are sick?"
Zach: "I saw one on tv that had something on it so that it could carry things to the sick people. Instead of getting cats (we just got two cats) we should have gotten a dog. That way it could bring me things in bed since I am sick. You know like soup...books...drinks. It wouldn't even spill them coming up that stairs!"
Me: (trying not to laugh) "I don't think that they give dogs like that to people that just have colds. They are really for people that can't see at all or can't walk."
Zach: "Yeah.......(long pause) I still think having a dog like that would be nice." sigh
We then moved on to about 4 other not related thoughts like that one. He finally went to sleep after about an hour.
