Mr. Peabody absolutely hated doing anything that wasn't proper. He could not remember a time when he had done something improper, at least that was, before he had Sherman. had been told that raising a child would be the hardest thing he would ever do. Even though he, at the time, had disagreed, part of him was worried that what they had said would be true. In the end, it was true. Still, Mr. Peabody never would have imagined all the ridiculous things a child would need their parent to do.
The changing of diapers was the first thing the dog would think of. Oh how he despised the putrid smell that would come out of his boy. Plus, the changing was constant. He had to always carry a diaper, a pair of gloves, and a nose pin with him. If he was in public, he would have to find a family restroom to go into since the men's restroom rarely had baby changing stations.
Going in public became more and more of a problem. It wasn't that he didn't want people to know he had adopted Sherman. It was because of the paparazzi. The constant flashing of cameras left Mr. Peabody extremely annoyed and baby Sherman crying. So, to get away, sometimes the dog would have to wear a disguise when he took Sherman to the grocery store, seeing he couldn't leave him alone and didn't trust sitters. Every time he had to do this, he felt absolutely ridiculous. Thankfully the paparazzi died down after a couple of months.
As Sherman became a little older, Mr. Peabody taught him how to speak. There is nothing more improper than sounding out words to a little baby. Plus, even after all his work, the first word to come out his mouth was Dada! Mr. Peabody had never even mentioned the word to his boy! Still, after a few weeks, the toddler was saying Mr. Pebo. A couple more weeks of training Sherman finally got it right.
, Infancy wasn't the end to it. Even as Sherman got older and started to go to school, Sherman was constantly asking Mr. Peabody to do certain things that Mr. Peabody never would have even imagined doing! He also found himself changing, doing more and more absurd things just so Sherman might laugh a little, or that he might smile.
In the end, despite how improper, crazy, and absurd he was, for Sherman, he would do it all over again in a heartbeat.
