Scrappy’s new career

Scrappy: Hey, DaddyDog!

Me: What now, Scrappy?

Scrappy: I’m gonna be a pro wrestler.

Me: That’s just great. Do have any experience in wrestling?

Scrappy: Work? Hey, you’re forgetting when I wrestled that big dog. Uh, you know, Charlie.

Me: So you did. What are you doing to get ready? It’s hard work even if it is fake.

Scrappy: Wind sprints, baby! And it’s not fake.

Scrappy: And I’m practicing my ugly face.

Scrappy: And my tricks. “Playing with a possum” is my favorite because it’s just like napping.

Me. Okay, sounds good. You need a strong ring name. What are you calling yourself?

Scrappy: Huh?

Me: Dude, you can’t just be “Scrappy”. You have to have a name that people will remember. Maybe a scary name.

Scrappy: Oh. How about “Scrapper the Napper”?

Me: Uh, no. 

Scrappy: But I like taking naps.

Me. I know you do.

Scrappy: Okay, then how about “Scrapper Doodle Dandy”?

Me: You’re not a Doodle. And dandies do not inspire fear.

Scrappy: “Yapper Scrapper”?

Me: You just don’t get it.

  3. You realise that there is an upside to all this – if Scrappy becomes a Wrestler, he could earn a few shillings and that would help pay for food and board and a few extra goodies for everyone. It sort of works for me :o)

    1. I thought of that. We’ll see if he’s willing to share. We’ll see if I’m willing to drive him to the arena.

    Rob, this was so funny I was laughing out loud. Ever thought of writing a kids book about you and scrappy?

    1. I’d have to leave out the bad words. They all three swear like sailors. It can be embarrassing sometimes.
