Let's All Go to the Poking Place

Scene:  Monday morning.  J and A are getting shoes on to go outside.  

A (sitting on couch while J put's on A's sock): "I'll take you to the poking place."

J (pulling on A's shoe):  "The poking place?  Where's the poking place?"   

A:  "It's where they poke you."

J:  "Where is this?"

A:  "Is's across W street.  I'll drag you there and they'll poke you.  They have guns and swords and then you'll be dead."  (laughs)

J:  "Why do you want to take me there?" (pulls up other sock)

A:  "Because you say 'Eeerrrrr!'"

J:  "So let me get this straight:  you want to drag me across the street to the poking place where people will poke me with swords and shoot me -- "

A:  "-- so you'll be dead --"

J:  "because I say 'Errr!' ?" (pulls on other shoe)

A:  "Yeah."

J:  "Buddy, there's -- "

A:  "-- easier ways to do that."

J (sits back on couch):  "When do I say 'Errr." ?

A (whispers):  "When I do something bad."  

J:  "So if you want me to not say 'Err!' you need to make good choices."

A:  "But they have swords..."
