"transforming away" and "i'm tobias"

ahh.. holidays are almost over and i must say, personally it has been a very good one. i hope for everyone as well... ,.. now to my .. ahem ...new full time work position.. blogging:

PRINCE TOBIAS

(tobias was bothering his sister and made her cry)

dad:

tobias! come here.

(tobias immediately starts crying with a big 'cry' face but not too convincingly. slowly walks over)

dad:

(sternly)

tobias, were you bothering your sister?

tobias:

(still crying the 'big' cry)

YEESSSS!

dad:

don't bother your sister. you should be nice to her
(tobias still crying)
i'm going to give you a chance...

tobias:

ookkaayyyyy...

dad:

i should give you a time out but i'm going to give you a chance...

tobias:

ookaaayyyy....

dad:

but if you bother your sister again and make her cry you're going to get a time out!

tobias:

ookaaayyy...

dad:
(still stern)

do you understand?

tobias:
(nods head with a big bottom lip and tears just visible in his eyes)

dad:

ok,.. you can go.

(tobias immediately makes the sound a transformer makes while it transforms ("choo-doo-doo-doo") and contorts and crumples and lays down on the ground (car mode) and then after a quick moment (i'm assuming maybe because he realizes he can't really move in that postition) he transforms up to a standing position - robot mode ("choo-doo-doo-doo") and runs away .. turbo fast!)

i guess i didn't scar his self confidence in that little reprimand situtation we just had... ,.. phew.

PRINCESS NATALIE

(mom playing with natalie.. tobias playing near by)

mom:

(to natalie)

what's your name?

natalie:

tobias.

tobias:

(over hearing error. speaking in that typical pre-school extended matter-of-fact just-shy-of-slightly-whiny voice)

noooooo. ii'mmm tobias.

natalie:

(bristles up. loudly)

no! i'm tobias!!
