When Angus started watching Charlie Brown’s Christmas show as his top request I knew he’d develop an affinity for Linus because Gussie is a blankie kinda guy too.  Whether you’re interested or not, he’ll explain to you that his blankie is his friend and lives in his bed and misses him when he’s not home. 

He’ll also explain that his blankie is yellow with blue stars.  And it does still look yellow to the naked eye, mostly after a washing.

He came into the kitchen Saturday morning and said, “Mom, there’s a boy on the Charlie Brown Christmas show who has a blankie too!  It’s a blue blankie.”

I’m like, “hey that’s great”

He said, “the boy’s name is *Minus*”

I’m like, “um, are you sure it’s not *Linus*?”

He’s like, “No Mom!  It’s *MINUS*”

And then last night he talked about him again and called him “Pinus”. 

I’m getting the feeling we’re going to run through all the consonants in the alphabet.  That’s cool, there’s enough time in the Christmas season to do that.  And it’s keeping me laughing, that’s pretty important.
