The Green Monster

This post is dedicated to the side of the family that love everything about Boston. Yes you know who you are...you will enjoy this post most of all!!! :)

This side of the family (Dan's side) has given many generous gifts to Saffryn and Pierce...including books about...you guessed it BOSTON. LOL!!! One of the books she most enjoys is about the Red Sox mascot Wally The Green Monster. It is kind of funny to me because she doesn't really understand very much about the book because it is all about baseball and Boston and Wally, but she really likes him.

So that was kind of the back story. Here is the real story. A couple of weeks ago we had our first sunny day. It was beautiful and we wanted to spend it outside. We really needed to get just a few groceries so Dan and the good idea of running to Walgreens which is just a few miles away (while I rode the bike next to them). So we talked about it a bit to Saffryn and we went on our way.

When we got home Saffryn was kind of dissapointed and kept asking about The Green Monster. "Are we going to The Green Monster mom???" I just sat there so confused...what are you talking about???

She kept talking about it and it finally occured to me that she was referring to our trip to WALgreens...which sounds an awful lot like WALLY (The Green Monster). LOL!!! I couldn't believe that she made that connection and remembered him. So she now refers to Walgreens as The Green Monster...maybe it will stick and that is what we will forever call that place!!!

I think she may end up being a Boston fan after all this indoctrination....hehe!!! :)
