He Can Be Charming

Cedric can be very charming and I have two stories to share to demonstrate. Both are from this week. Monday we went to the zoo and you just can't visit the zoo without riding the train. Cedric loves trains, which I have mentioned before, so he was entralled and using his best observatory skills to take it all in. When he handed Contuctor Tim our tickets, the conductor kindly asked Cedric if he wanted to assist him. So we got to sit right in front of Conductor Tim and Cedric got to say "all aboard" before the train left each station. Here's what happened the first time.

Tim: holding mic up to Cedric "Say all aboard!"
Cedric: "All aboard!!"
silence
T: "Hmm. Must not be on" fiddles with dials, blows on mic, "Test, test, test. OK Cedric" holds up mic again.
C: blows on mic and says "test, test, test."
T: whispers "Say all aboard."
C: whispers "all aboard."
T: "Louder Cedric."
C: "ALL ABOARD!"

At the grocery store while I'm getting out my wallet and coupons, Cedric strikes up a conversation with the checkout clerk.
C: "I need a sticker for my boo-boo finger." Holds up pointer finger to show the clerk his fictious boo-boo.
Clerk: "Oh you poor thing, of course you need a sticker." Looks for stickers and realizes she is out, goes over two lanes to get more stickers and proceeds to put a sticker on his boo-boo and gives him about 30 extra stickers.
C: "THANK-YOU!"
