The other night when Heather was getting Ethan ready for bed, he wanted his nightly bedtime snack, so she brought him a banana. Jokingly Heather used the banana as a telephone and said the call was for Ethan. Here's the ensuing conversation: Heather: "Ethan! It's for you!" Ethan: "Who is it, Mom?" Heather: "It's Santa Clause." Ethan puts the banana to his face like a phone and nonchalantly says: "Hey Santa." Ethan pretends to listen and says "What! You wanna drop your elves off here? Well...I guess that would be OK." After handing Heather the banana/phone, he grabbed it back and exclaimed "Oh, wait. I have school tomorrow!" He pretends to listen, and says, "Oh. OK. Just drop them off at the house." There's are fine lines between imagination and cute -- and weird!
