Conversations with Carter

E.T.

Action figures and eye rolling

Carter calls:

Someone take this ET figure away from me. I don’t like him.

Me: Why?

Carter: Well, in my imagination he rolled his eyes at me.

Me: chuckle

Carter: Why are you laughing?

Me: Because he’s an action figure, and you said he rolled his eyes at you *in your imagination.*

Carter: Yes, but I don’t like having eyes rolled at me even if it’s in my imagination. You take ET away. I’m going to play with this one. I like this one because he has glasses, so I can’t tell if he’s rolling his eyes at me.
