Elvis and Freud reunited....


An Oreo cookie mouthed Oliver before the Freud fiasco with Dad

Sorry about the sideways picture, but is that baby Elvis trying to sit on Freud's lap??? Baby Elvis doesn't look to happy about it.....maybe he doesn't agree with Freud's theories!!! At Clark University they are pretty famous for their Psychology program, but more importantly it is the home of a nice Freud statue. This is because it is the only place that Freud ever lectured at in the United States, ever. He came to speak at Clark University because he had a friend there or something and so agreed to speak there during his first and only visit to the United States. He gave a speech there and I guess decided he didn't like the U.S. and left immediately after the lecture and returned back to Europe and never came back. So Clark has a statue of Freud out in it's common area in front of the Psych building that Zack attends classes in. (He doesn't usually have pink lipstick on. Oh, those freshmen!!) Oliver has never been afraid of him before, until we tried to put him in an Elvis suit and make him sit on his lap!!! Apparently this was just asking too much!! Yep, that's Oliver crying. Oops.

This is me trying to get Oliver to sit on Freud's lap!! He did not want to, he was afraid of him.....I know what you're thinking---what does that mean? Does he hate his Father and find a jealous relationship with his Mother? Or is there something more? Did Freud secretly steal his gold fish??

I LOVE the Elvis costume on him. He is a little hunk of burning love.
