Sweet Bedtime Mutterings

Interior. Bedroom--Night

LITTLE C is cuddling with his MAMA after a long day.  He has his arms around her and is re-telling a tale from his earlier childhood.

LITTLE C: Uh, Mama, you are kinda squishing my emergency arm.

MAMA: What? 

LITTLE C: My emergency arm.  You are laying on it.

MAMA: Why is it your emergency arm?

The mama sits up and the boy gives a sigh of relief.

LITTLE C: It is there in case something happens to my essential arm.  You know, if it gets hurt or in a cast or knocked off.

MAMA: What makes it essential?

LITTLE C: It is the one I write with and light saber duel with.  The other one is a replacement arm.

Are you freaking kidding me. Essential. That boy is brilliant.
