My girls love to play together. As long as they are doing things that are acceptable in the others' view of what is right in the world. Needless to say, it isn't very long before an injustice is done and Supermom (that's me) is called to the scene of the crime. The evildoer is found out pretty easily when asked the question 'what's going on?' because Sophie has a look on her face that will clearly indicate the ridiculosity (it's a technical term - you wouldn't understand) of the situation. Let's call it the Ridiculometre. So Supermom swoops in and asks The Question and immediately looks at her Ridiculometre and assesses that it was most likely an inappropriate touching of the "special" Barbie, Bratz doll or, God forbid, Tigger (ah Tigger - the sleeping buddy since Sophie was a baby whom no one can come into contact with unless a specific permission asking tone is maintained for the entire length of the permission granting session.) But there was this one day....
Now my girls are very smart - they like to hide this fact from us at times - but they are smart. They have performed several experiments with regards to what will mom and dad lose their minds over. One day, they were playing in their dollhouse quite nicely when 'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY' and crying echoes throughout the house. Superdad takes it this time. The question is asked, but the Ridiculometre is the injured party, so there is only one logical conclusion - Bailey did it and it is at least slightly painful (Sophie likes to embellish. I have NO idea where she gets it from). So Superdad goes straight to work at calming Sophie so that he can understand her. Finally, she looks up at Daddy, points a weakened finger at her chest and exclaims 'She hit me Daddy! She hit me right in the kill spot!!' He had to leave the room.
LMAO! ...right in the kill spot!! Now that's too funny!!!!! I would have to leave the room too :)
