Yo-ho-ho and a saucer of cream


The Child Care Centre has a new mascot of sorts—a black and white stuffed cat that will be accompanying the kids on all of their summer outings. Today, the 'webbing' exercise was posted for parents to see at pick-up time. The question, written in the centre of the page, was "What should we call our new cat?". The answers branched off in all directions, but this time the children's names weren't added in parentheses. I figured it might be a challenge to spot Sam's answer in the mix, but it wasn't tough at all. Halfway round the circle, under suggestions like "Fluffy" and "Princess" was the name "Pirate." Pirate, the Cat. Ya, that sounds like Sam. Not surprisingly, his answer seemed to change the tack of the brainstorming, as further round the circle were the suggestions "Hot Wheels," "Power Ranger," and "Pikachu." In the end, the group went with "CiCi Sunshine." Cici for the double C's in 'child care,' and Sunshine for the summer session. Cute.

I doubt Sam's impressed...
