Journal Ethelred Unraed's Journal: The Confessor smacks down Daddy 3
THE SCENE
Ethelred and the Confessor are looking at the morning paper over breakfast. The Confessor spies an ad for a men's outfitter. He commences to pointing at pictures and identifying them.
CONFESSOR [pointing to a man in a suit and tie]
Man!
ETHELRED
Yup, that's right. That's a man.
CONFESSOR [pointing to another man in a suit and tie]
That's a man, too!
ETHELRED
Mmm-hmm, that's a man, too. He's wearing a suit.
CONFESSOR [pointing to a third man in a suit and tie]
And that's a man, too!
ETHELRED
Right. And Daddy's a man.
CONFESSOR
No. Daddy's not wearing a suit.

BACKGROUND
I like to call the Confessor a "goofball", because he is, well, a goofball. Jokes around a lot, giggles and that sort of thing. The Confessor even likes it when I call him that, so he often refers to himself as a goofball, and interestingly he says Daddy is also a goofball, but not BoE or Gloriana (I suspect machinations of BoE in this).
THE SCENE
Ethelred and the Confessor are sitting in the kitchen together. Gloriana has crawled up to the safety gate in the kitchen door and has propped herself up on it.
CONFESSOR
That's Gloriana!
ETHELRED
Yup, that's Gloriana.
CONFESSOR
She's Confessor's sister. [He tends to speak of himself in the third person. Hasn't started with the royal "we" yet, though.]
ETHELRED
Yup. She's your sister. And you're her brother.
CONFESSOR
No, Confessor is a goofball.
Hehe (Score:2)
you're both goofballs! (Score:2)
Unless you're sure he knows the potential negative connotations of that label?
Goofball may just be a casual, friendly male to him.

It's fascinating, and i recommend it to you on that account.
