Poor Mr. Squirrel

Carter had his 3rd official sleep over at his friend Noah's house a couple of weekends ago.  Because of his dog allergies he has been limited to where he can stay but thanks to Dr. Lupuente at Carolina Asthma and Allergy-- now my little boy can be around dogs with little problem-- sorry for the sidetrack just good news--now back to the story

So needless to say-- because he is so new to the whole sleepover thing-- he gets REALLY EXCITED-- or as he says " I'M SO CITED" to go.  Then you add that he is with his two best buds-- and it just gets more interesting.  So as you can imagine there were some pretty funny and some embarrassing stories that came from the adventure.  But the Squirrel story is my favorite.

So here is the "Squirwle" story:

Noah's dogs had been bringing up Squirrels from the back yard-- no fun if you are a squirrel in their back yard-- your life expectancy is low if you know what I mean.

While the boys were at their sleepover--- the dog brought up another squirrel.  So Noah's dad and the boys go outside to look at the squirrel, and as they gathered around the squirrel Carter says

"We need to Pway for the Squirwle" (Carter's recount of the story).

So the three of them and Noah's dad gather around the squirrel, and almost immediately, and simultaneously the 3 boys put their hand over their heart and say:

"I pwedge allegience to the Squirwle"

Not sure it is as funny when it is in writing and the way it is written was how Carter retold the story-- which makes it funny to hear out loud -- but it is one of those stories that I just needed to get in writing for memory sake.
