Fairies Taste Good

~

I've mentioned how Girlie has an invisible fairy friend.

What I haven't mentioned is that Boyo's ability for imaginative play is growing by leaps and bounds.

Last week, while Girlie and Pinna where having a very serious talk (as she put it), Boyo ran over, grabbed the air in front of Girlie and pretended to gobble it down.

"I eat da faiwie!" he shouted, grinning ear to ear. He looked like the cat who ate the fairy - er, canary.

Girlie burst into tears. She was inconsolable.

It took all of my will power not to laugh.

Invisible Friends

~

My daughter has a fairy.

Girlie told me so. When I asked what her fairy looked like, she drew me this picture:

According to Girlie, her fairy's name is Pinna, and you spell that Alcshpr.


Girlie demonstrated how big her fairy is by holding her fingers about half an inch a part. "It is a large fairy, like me Momma," she told me. "She has kinda blonde hair and she flew to me last night when I was a little baby and drove her fairy car. Brother's fairy has blonde hair. Brother and Baby's sister's fairies are this big [holding her finger and thumb together], but mine is big like me.


"Pinna is going to bring me a Tinkerbell bike to my Strawberry birthday in June," Girlie continued, quite pleased with herself as I swallowed my laughter.


"That's so awesome," I told Girlie. "But where are her wings?"


"Oh," Girlie said, thinking for a minute. "She took them off and is pretending to be a mermaid. See that? Those are seashells to hide her boobs."

I love her more every day - she's hilarious.
