The Rodeo

Today Mat and I were playing with playdough and he made a cave.
To go into the cave I created a dough facimile of Big Col (my dad). He was missing something though, so we stuck a beard on him. Dad’s beard is one of his defining features – I wouldn’t recognize him without it. Mum probably wouldn’t either – he’s had it since before I was born (or thereabouts).

Then we made a Dough-Matty. Mat was insistent that he was missing something. So he stuck a beard on his little homunculus.

Then we made teddy (who went on an adventure with Mat and Big Col at Jenolan Caves). Mat was adamant that he needed facial hair as well, so on it went.

At prayer time tonight, we asked Mat what he wanted to thank God for. His usual answers – CallumLisaLaura (one word), and lounges and beards.

So we prayed that he would grow up into a big, good, strong man. And that he would have a beard.

He’s gone to sleep happy.

RodeoClown: loves his beard.
