Goo-Gah!

Troy: “Dada, last night I dreamed that Misha was pretending to be a goo-gah.”

Me: “What’s a goo-gah?”

Troy: “He’s a little tiny monster, so small, like a baby T-Rex. And he farts on people.”

Me [snickering]: “Okay, well I’ve never met a goo-gah, but I’m not sure I’d like to.”

Troy: “Yeah, he sneaks up on you, and he farts on you. Then, he says, ‘goo-gah!’”

Me: “You know your Uncle Ka used to do that to me, but he’d pull his pants down first.”

Troy: “What?! That’s disgusting!”

Me: “I know, right?!”

Troy: “Why would he do that?”

Me: “Because he was mean.”

Troy: “Well, the goo-gah isn’t mean.”

Me: “Oh, so he’s just mischievous. He causes trouble.”

Troy: “No, he’s a good guy.”

Me: “You can still be a good guy and cause trouble. Just look at you!”

Troy [smiling]: “What?!”

Me: “Don’t deny it. You know you’re a little imp. So, in your dream was Misha running around farting on people?”

Troy: “Yeah, and it smelled really bad.”

Me: “I see. Just like Uncle Ka.”

Troy: “That’s still disgusting.”

Me: “It still gives me nightmares.”
