Earlier this week, J, Sam and I were looking at old videos of Sam. We found this one from 2011 (see below), which was made when we were at our old house. Sam must have been almost three or just barely three when we made this video. Sam was pretending to read us a story from a little book. This was a period when he was interested in watching the "Fireman Sam" videos, which explains why there is both a Sam and a Fireman Sam character (but they are two different people).
Here's the dialogue:
Sam [searching for the right starting page on which he wants to start reading]: Oh, there are a lot of pages! [Clears throat and begins to "read"]: "Sam popped!"
Me: He popped?!?
Sam: Yep, and he...didn't see Mom and Dad, because he popped!
Me: Did Mom and Dad see him?
Sam: No, because he popped!
Me: Oh, boy! Then what happened?
Sam: Whoops! That's all!
Me: But, didn't the firemen come? What happened? Who helped Sam get back together?!?
Sam: Okay! This one [story] is about [how] Mom and Dad popped.
Me: Mom and Dad popped?
Sam: Mmm-hmm. And Sam didn't see them. [clears throat and begins to "read"] Sam...saw his mom and dad pop. Then...the firemen came rushing! And Sam said, "Look, Fireman Sam! My mom and dad popped!"
Me: And what did Fireman Sam say?
Sam: He said, "Oh no!"
Me: And then what did Sam say to the firemen?
Sam [wincing and grimacing]: Sam said, "Mmm...my mom and dad popped!"
Me: And did the fireman help you?
Sam: Yep!
Me: What did he do?
Sam: He was sticking them together and he put they...they nose on top of their head!
Me: Oh! That's not right!
Sam: And they..Fireman Sam put they mouth on their tummies!
Me: Oh, that's not right either! He was confused!
Sam: And Fireman Sam put they legs on top of their...hips!
Me: Oh dear!
Sam: And...and...their feet go on their....on their ears.
Me: Oh, that is too silly! Mom and Dad look too silly in this story!
Sam: Yeah!
Me: And what did Sam do when he saw his silly mom and dad?
Sam: He...he was surprised!
Me: Yeah!
Sam: Yeah! Then...the other one [story] is about Sam and my lamp popped!
Me: Your, your lamb popped?
Sam: No, the lam-p!
Me: Oh, lamp!
Sam [clears throat and begins to read]: "Sam popped, and his lamp popped!"
Me: Oh dear!
It's amazing how much Sam has changed in the past few years. I don't feel like we made this video that long ago! I also look forward to having similar creative stories told to me by a little person in a few years, once this new baby grows up.
