Lost in Translation

The experts say that it is not unusual for a child under 5 to wet the bed from time to time.  Benjy is three, and we are about to move to Mexico, so needless to say, Lisa has been doing a lot of laundry, and I have been making the bed at bed time.

Tonight, after I finished making the bed, and tucked Benjy in, we had this conversation.

Benjy:  Daddy, my bed not smell like "Pess."

Chris:  Excuse me?

Benjy:  My bed not smell like "Pess."

Chris:  Pess?  (where did he learn that?)

Benjy:  Yeah, "Pess" from Shrek.

Chris:  Pess from Shrek?  oh, Puss!  Puss in Boots.

Benjy:  Yup.  Pess Boot from Shrek.

 


Of course this begs the question: 
Why would his bed smell like a cartoon cat?
