Conversation With Rocket
I just put Rocket to bed a while ago. A few minutes ago I heard him calling me, so I went to see what he wanted.
Rocket (smiling): Guess who's my friend!
Me: Who?
Rocket: Periwinkle! (from Blue's Clues)
Me: Really? That's nice, but it's time to go to sleep.
Rocket: Periwinkle's at his house.
Me: I know. He's probably sleeping.
Rocket (sadly): I miss him. He's on the TV.
Me: I know. You can watch him tomorrow.
Rocket (even more sadly): When's he going to get out of the TV?
Me: I'm sorry, honey, but that's where Periwinkle lives. We just get to watch him on TV.
Poor Rocket seemed even more sad. Now I think I'm sad!

Awww! How sweet! The TV can be a tough concept for a child. I can remember wondering if the actors could see what I was doing while I watched them on the screen.
