Me: Tommy. Tommy! (Now I finally have his attention) What would you like your nickname to be?
Tommy: Sponge Bob.
Me: Are you sure you want the announcer to introduce you as Thomas 'Sponge Bob' Fleming?
Tommy: OK, how about 'Squidward' instead.
Brian: How about 'T.D?' (Of course!)
Me: What about 'Shorty?'
Tommy: Fine, 'T.D.' is fine.
Me: What's your favorite color?
Tommy: Yellow
Me: What's your favorite food?
Tommy: Chicken
Me: (mental thought - isn't he sick of eating chicken?) What do you want to be when you grow up?
Tommy: A baseball player
Me: What's your favorite song?
Tommy: Tick Tock
So, I head into work and shoot off an email to our team mom indicating Tommy's responses. At this point, I have to disclose that his favorite song choice, Tick Tock by Kesha, is all because his mom listens to Top 40 hits in the morning and now realizes that her son is actually paying attention!
Gotta love him! Put him in coach, he's ready to play!
Tommy would like to know what your favorite baseball movie is?
'A League of Their Own' of course!!
