Scruffy The Legend

Charlie has really started to understand English well.  I am sitting in a chair in the living room.  Suddenly Charlie appears and sits in front of me smiling.  He is saying something like “I wanna do something Dad, what’s there to do?”  Without making any motion or looking in any partuclar direction, I say “Charlie go get a bone.”  He runs under the coffee table and starts vigorously chewing on the large bone that is always there.  He keeps looking up at me, definitely saying “This is a great idea.  I love this bone.”  He is rolling it between his paws and trying every angle to get the best chewing parts of the bone.  Soon he tires of the bone and comes to me once more smiling again and looking at me intently.  He is certainly saying “That was fun!  What can I do now?”  Again without any motion from me, I say “Get your toy.”  An excited look comes over him and he starts running all over the house to find his barbell toy.  Soon he appears with it in his mouth.  He doesn’t bring it to me, but goes under the coffee table and starts chewing it as vigorously as he had the bone.  When I see he is getting bored, I say “Charlie has a toy! Charlie has a toy!”  On hearing this he renews the vigoruous chewing.  Eventually, he gets tired of chewing altogether and comes over to lie at my feet for a rest.
