Score 1 for McDonalds

...or as the son calls it "Old MacDonald's"...

But the neighbor boy had a transformer from McDonald's and it's all the son has been able to talk about for the past few days. So the family was out doing an evening errand when we decided to forgo making dinner at home. I was almost certain that the toy du joir was going to be from "Kung Fu Panda" but I was pleasantly pleased to see the Transformers logo on the toy display in the lobby.

Now considering the son has been only able to talk about Bumblebee I was surprised that he pointed in the case and said, "I want that one" which was not Bumblebee but Megatron!

He was so happy, he almost forgot to eat his ice cream at Baskin-Robbins afterwards. And he even was cooperative (to a point) in getting ready for bed. "Can I take Blacko in the shower?" (Blacko being his name for Megatron) "Can Blacko read books with us?", "Can I play with Blacko a little longer?"

Then the coup de gras, "I just want Blacko to stand here on the bed next to me so I can see him." (after three times of the toy tipping over and falling on the floor...) "Maybe you can just put him on the shelf where I can see him and get him when I wake up on the next day."

No, he doesn't say tomorrow or today they are referred to as 'the next day' and 'this day' respectively.
