Ready for Surgery...

Sam's having his tonsils out tomorrow and he's quite excited. He's talked about it for days and any bad behavior, strange comment, errant action, etc. has been blamed on "the tonsils acting weird". At random, we discuss the tonsils. He also likes to have people look at them, and I do have to admit, they are quite impressive to see--gigantic doesn't even come close to describing.

When oldest brother had his out lo, those many years ago (nine, at least, wow), he had this odd little elf voice, so as we've been preparing Sam for the post-operative "issues" (pain, thirst, grogginess, etc), I also mentioned that his voice might be a little strange. I told him that Five sounded like an elf. He pondered this for a moment and thend asked:

"I wonder if I'll sound different. Do you think I'll sound British?"

And so, he's been practicing the accent--just in case. Then, out of the blue, today, he told MIL that he may also end up sounding like he's from Texas.

Either way, I have a feeling that tomorrow and the weekend that follows shall be quite interesting.
