>"Daddy can Skittows pway?"
"No Skit, you have to leave them back there until we get home."

>Skit fucking LIGHTS UP
>"NEW NEW FWEIND! Wan' pway?"
>The smiley face happily bobs yes
>"Yay! Pway, pway fun gaem!"

>Back home
>you've set up the playpen while Skittles is running all around the room, chasing the little smiley-face ball which he's officially named, "Geowge." (George).

>You turn and yell,
"Skit, your play house is ready."
>"Pway howse?"
>He's hugging the shit out of George right now
>Skittles scampers over with George in his mouth, and starts looking through the weird accordion-walls of the playpen and gazes upon his legos, ball, pad, crayons, and his bowl of skittles/bed all strewn out before him
>You lift him up and gently set him down in the midst of it all
>"Geowge... weuw home."
