The scene: Gizmo's bedroom, Sunday night. Mitch, Gizmo and I are picking up toys in preparation for bed. I grab Toto's basket, part of her Dorothy costume for Halloween.
Me: "Gizmo, why don't you go get Toto and we can put him in his basket."
(Gizmo runs into the other room to find Toto. She runs back in.)
Me (with basket open): "OK, Gizmo, put him in!"
Gizmo (with a sad look on her face): "Oh, you can't take him away from me!"
(Mitch and I exchange a look and laugh, both of us immediately deciding that she has taken on her role of Dorothy for Halloween extremely seriously.)
Me: "I'm not taking him away. We can put him in the basket and set the whole basket on your ledge."
Gizmo (without another thought): "OK!"
End scene.
Who knows how she'll act as "Dorothy" tomorrow night, especially when she has a sidekick in the Cowardly Lion.
