Adam hates my Leo Manatee song. Here is our conversation tonight:
Adam: Leo is so cute. He's so tough. Do you want to know what I call him?
Catie: What do you call him?
Adam: I call him a gentle giant.
Catie: Kind of like a manatee?
Adam: CATIE. Come on. A manatee is not a gentle giant. It is a gentle sea cow. It is a fat, slow, cow that swims and eats lettuce. Or algae. Or whatever it eats, but it has a flipper like a platypus and gets hit by boats because it is slow.
Catie: A little like a manatee?
Adam: "Our son is not a mana-teeee, mana-teeee." (That last part was sung. Seriously.) I cannot believe we are even having this conversation.
I think I'm going to buy Leo a stuffed manatee for Christmas.
