There are four Cocos. Coco is a fish who wears five striped shirts. He’s the stinky one. Coco is a kid, specifically a boy. Coco is a horse. Tic Tac is also a horse; his last name is Coco.
Coco the fish lives in the crack in the front patio of our house. He eats leaves, sticks, rocks, and ‘candy gum’. Coco the boy does not have any toys, but he has a job. He works with Aunt Kelley. He breaks her apartment. Last time we went on a car trip, Coco sat with Rush in the car, then he climbed into Rush’s shirt. He also jumped out of the car and onto a train.
Coco is Tate’s imaginary friend.
Conversation from last week:
Scene: Tate and Kelly are sitting on the couch.
Tate, quietly: I can’t believe Coco.
Me: What did he do?
Tate, breathlessly, appalled: He hit you.
Watch out for Coco.
HA HA HA.....That Coco!
ReplyDeleteWe had a lion that lived in a storm drain by our condo. That lion transitioned into Girl Pet Lion, who accompanied us everywhere for a year or two, and had all sorts of wild adventures while we weren't paying attention. She could also stretch her loooooong arm through your window and put a plate full of bacon on the table if you asked her to. I miss G.P.L. quite a lot now that I don't hear about her much anymore.
ReplyDeleteDear Tate,
ReplyDeleteNo matter what Coco does, Katie Alice in Wonderland did it better.
Love, Aunt Casey
And for that matter, anything any of you do, Katie Alice in Wonderland did it better. Anything.
