Note: Jax is deprived. His mommy doesn’t let him watch much TV, and since Mommy loathes Spiderman, it is strictly prohibited. (Beans don’t like spiders, and besides, isn’t 3.5 a little early for Spiderman?) If he’s good, he gets to watch a little Scooby on the weekend.
"Jinkies, Jax! I need someone with more scientific savvy to play my part."
“Mommy, you’re going to be Delma.”
“I don’t wanna be Delma.”
“Mommy, you have to be Delma.”
“I want to be Daphne.”
“No, Mimi’s Daphne. You have to be Delma.”
“Why can’t I be Daphne and let Mimi be Delma?”
“A cause.”
“A cause why?”
“Mommy, you have to be Delma.”
“Look, Scooby, I have nothing against Delma. I admire her intellect and her uncanny deductive reasoning, but honestly she needs contacts, a good hairdresser and a wardrobe consultant.”
“Mommy, you have to be Delma.”
“Jax. Velma. Dinkley. Does. Not. Have. The. Image. I. Have. Always. Aspired. To. Cultivate…. Capice?”
“Mommy, you have to be Delma.”
How is this fair? I introduced the kid to Scooby Doo. Mimi wouldn’t know what the Mystery Machine was if it sideswiped her car and gave her whiplash.
“Mommy, do you hear me?!”
Sheesh, maybe this just isn’t my battle.
“MOMMY, YOU HAVE TO BE DELMA!”
“Okay, I’ll be Delma.”

That is so cute and isn’t it funny what we get into arguements about with little ones? Like it really matters, lol! I do that all the time w/ my 3 year old.
Aww. He sounds adorable. I especially like the part where you say “Look, Scooby, I have nothing against Delma. I admire her intellect and her uncanny deductive reasoning, but honestly she needs contacts, a good hairdresser and a wardrobe consultant.” I can just see him looking at you in awe. Very funny.
After a long day of PTA Orientation planning and managing to come to grips that my little one will be in kindergarten next week, I LOVED this. And I think all the Beans should don Scooby costumes this fall!
Sigh…I’d rather be Daphne, too. We didn’t watch much TV in those early years and never had video games at home. It’s been a really good thing!
