Yesterday, Dustin brought Mr. Pokemon over to go swimming.

We–Dustin and I–were lounging by the side of the pool, attached to the sides like barnicles, and Mr. Pokemon swam around us, Eventually he took to trying to climb up our backs, and Dustin finally had to ask what he was doing.

Dustin: Why are you climbing on Lisa?
Mr. Pokemon: I like to climb on her.
Dustin: Well I do too, but we’re not doing that right now.

It was really funny, at the time. Mr. Pokemon eventually managed to climb up my back and out of the pool before I could stop him. At least today he wanted to be pokemon, and I didn’t have to play the mermaid as usual. He was Starmie for awhile, and then Staryu, and occasionally Ratatat. He really does love his pokemon.

When he came inside, he danced to my dad playing the keyboard for awhile, and sat on a chair in the dinning room, staring at all of my mum’s salt and pepper shakers. He was dying to play with them, but managed to keep his hands off.

Mr. Pokemon starts kindergarten today, and so wasn’t very happy about having to go home early yesterday. But I had fun with him and Dustin, so in all, it was a decent Sunday.
