A Few Things I Know About Cy

Rolls himself to sleep

Has night terrors and will pee in a drawer if you let him

If you don’t like to play sports, he probably won’t ever play with you

He talks in a stream of consciousness, meaning you hear every single thought fragment that enters his brain

Tells you his “famous” plays of the game over and over for weeks afterward, “Remember when I juked that kid and he went [sound effect] and I went [sound effect] and dribbled past and he fell? Pone!”

With his stream-of-conscious verbal abilities and his fanatic interest in sports, he’s a shoe-in for sports announcing

He likes to lean hard on you as opposed to stand next to you

He says the best prayers you’ve ever heard

Loves his giant black gorilla named DK (Donkey Kong) and insists that Elle love him too (“Don’t forget your DK, Elle!” [she just keeps on a walkin’])

Says things like, “(So-and-so) has really good kicks, but his dribbling (shakes his head). He needs to be like me (expounds on his impressive skills….).”

Has a massive crush on a girl we’ll call A

Tells me about how other kids got in trouble at school, so I can fully appreciate and praise him for how well-behaved he is (so I do!).
