He says it so earnestly that you immediately agree about the goodness of the idea, regardless of what it is. Today, his good idea was to play "Pick Up the Sheet" (an old classic). Here's how it goes:
Trevor grabs the sheet off of his bed, and drags it around the house for awhile (and I cringe as I watch him shuffle across the chronically filthy kitchen floor). At some point, Trevi lies down and covers himself with the sheet. He then uses some kind of weird voice to shout out, "Mummy, Trevor left his sheet on the floor! Please pick it up and put it back on the bed!"
We have been playing a bizarre version of golf over the past few days (Or, in Trevi's words, "This is my special virgin of golf that's a new virgin that's different from the old virgin that most people play.") Ya, I'll let you do with that what you will..... So, yes, golf. The gist of this, ahem, version of golf is that we toss whiffle balls in and around obstacles in the backyard. Trevor is in charge of guiding us through the course, the layout of which varies from day to day, depending on what happens to be lying around. Today, Trevi added a brand new element to the game: planning. He built the 18th hole in our hallway, complete with a bucket at the end to catch and hold your ball, thus ending your round.
Apparently he learned about golf scoring from Curious George. Good old PBS.
