Autograph Please

 As we were walking to Disneyland on one of the three days of visiting the park, Markus didn't ask about getting any of the characters autographs. When he was three that was one of his favorite things about the park, and he would carry his autograph book around with him everywhere just in case he encountered Mickey or one of his friends. But he is eight now and everything changes. He still liked eating at Goofy's kitchen and chatting with some of the characters there though, so I guess it hasn't lost all of it's magic. When Pluto and Dale came to our table they sat down and started writing on the paper table cover. Max asked Pluto why he never talks and Pluto wrote down that he is a dog and dogs don't talk. He then proceeded to bark! Markus asked Dale the same question and Dale wrote, "Because Mr. Disney asked them not to speak." Markus said, "But Mr. Disney is dead." and Dale wrote, "But he would still know." They continued on with their "conversations" for a few minutes until it was time to get up and dance with Goofy and his friends.
