ellyssianAlthough Mr. B still mispronounces some words and although I fully expect him to make up things that seem like words, I think we're moving past the stage where he's providing a suitable amount of entertainment.
What's funny now is how he's putting things together, how he's lecturing Justin about not touching Deb's puzzle, or scolding Rachel for no real apparent reason. In other words, it's funny in the way that you want to laugh but probably really shouldn't.
Despite no one in our household watching The Apprentice longer than needed to recognize what it is and click on past, Mr. B has been channeling the Donald lately.
If you do anything he is displeased with - like not getting him apple juice or, worse, making him wait until you finish what you're in the middle of doing before getting the juice, he now proclaims you to be fired. "You're fired!" "I'm going to fire you!" Sometimes he gets more creative: "You're fired! I stick you in the oven and cook you like a turkey!"
He's been doing this for about a week, and I really wasn't sure where he was picking it up. Did PBS start to run The Apprentice between Sesame Street and Dora the Explorer?
Turns out that, while Deb, Rachel, and Brandon were eating at Red Robin (while I was trying not to be in too much back pain while waiting for UPS to show up), Mr. B became concerned that their food was taking too long. He decided the workers there were eating it for them. Rachel attempted to calm him by explaining that they were preparing his food, they'd bring it as soon as it was done, because if they didn't they'd get fired.
So he put it all together and now if, at any moment, you don't do exactly as he wishes, your job - maybe your entire career - is in jeopardy.

Let her know that as soon as she becomes an ISA Certified Treeclimber, she's hired! =)
