Last week when Dave and Ajax got home, Dave shut the back door and proceeded into the house. After he shut the door, however, Ajax ran into the back room and locked the door, the whole time lecturing Dave about safety and keeping the deer out of the house.
Last Friday after we had put Ajax to bed I was standing in the kitchen making a cup of tea and realized that Ajax was sing-talking. I thought he was calling for me and went in to check on him. He said that he was singing his car song (he’s really into making up songs lately) and then he asked me to go turn on the TV so that it would keep the deer away.
So ok. Here’s what I’ve gathered from multiple deer related conversations I’ve had with Ajax: 1) My son is concerned that deer are going to get into our home and harm him/me/Dave/etc, and 2) he has no idea what deer are. I have no clue where this came from, but I guess it popped up over a week ago. He is constantly on high alert for “deer” and are always warning us to watch out for them. Dave and I have each tried to reassure him that deer are friendly woodland creatures, but I don’t think he believes us for some reason.
