Casting Chipmunks



I walk into the middle of an intense discussion among the boys. 

“I get to be Alvin!”  Aidan yells loudly.

“You are SO not an Alvin, Aidan.  I am an Alvin.  You are the smart one.  You have to be Simon.”  Brennan scoffs.

“I am not Simon.  I’m Alvin!”  Aidan protests.

“No, you’re not.  Alvin is all about mischief.  I am full of mischief!  You’re smart, that’s why you’re Simon!”

“Hold up,” I interrupt.  “You are all smart.  All of you.  All of you are smart and all of you have a little mischief too.  Okay?”

“Yeah, I have mischief!  I have a whole lot of mischief!”  Aidan mutters.

Brennan laughs.  “You so do not have any  mischief.”

Griffin smiles and says, “Well, all I know is that I get to be Theodore.  And you know why?  Because I am loveable.  I am so loveable.”
