Her Words

Z  amazes me everyday with her storytelling abilities and the manner that she can articulate them. With that I bring you a new feature: Storytime Saturday!

This week's story was prompted by the following discussion:

"Z, you should not wear other kids' hats or use their blankets."

"Why, momma?"

"Because if you ever get lice, I will shave your head."

And this is the story:

"If you shave my head, I will shave your nose and your eyes and your ears and your lips. And the bugs will move into your eyeballs and they will hatch eggs and then you will have worms everywhere. It will be disgusting and scary and I won't be able to love you anymore. Because you are the mean mommy that shaved my head. And I don't like that."


I don't know where she gets these ideas, but apparently her imagination is just as scary as my own.

It's gonna be a long, scary ride.
