Peter Pan #2

During Hugo's bedtime routine last night, he suddenly burst out with a new twist to his before he was born story for me.  Today I phoned up my Dad and was in the midst of relaying Hugo's new twist to the story, when Hugo interrupted and began to correct me on the details. I've asked the little man himself to repeat his tale for me here so we can read it over and over again.

"I was up in the night sky because I was looking in every house for a Mom that didn't have any boys or girls. But all the Moms already had boys and girls. Then I found a brick house and I saw a Mom that didn't have any boys or girls. Then I looked in a window and I saw a room that was painted and it had lots of toys and books. I was sneaking around so that no body saw me. Because if they did... I'd have to hide. I saw one Mom and a work place with a black truck coming this way, to the red brick house. It had a Papa in it, and some gum."

Memories

 

We were driving to church this morning when Hugo piped up with a question from his seat in the way back:

Hugo - Momma do you remember that you were married in two places? 


Me - Yesssssss.  (I don't remember ever discussing eloping with Cesar in NYC and years later being sealed in the Boston Temple together with our Hugo.)


Hugo - It was hard for me to see you because I was way up high in the sky on a cloud with Jesus and Heavenly Father and the Holy Ghost.

Me - Umm...


Hugo - Momma, did I hug Jesus?

Me - Ah, sure.


Hugo - Did I kiss him?

Me - Yes, yes you did.

Just before we began to watch a family movie tonight:

Hugo - Momma do you remember when you prayed and you were in love?  Remember I was way up in the sky.  It was pretty hard to see you because I was so far away.  Then I was a shooting star and I flew really fast into your tummy!
