I have learned two things from my children this week so far: 1) A spider must be smashed with something at least twice the size of the Smasher in order for it to die properly, 2) my little Penny has a sarcastic sense of humor.
This is how the events unfolded:
Item 1 - Penny informs me that Seren has a spider Evy (my oldest) had crafted and Penny wanted to play with it. I asked Seren to let Penny play with it. Seren tries to hand it to Penny, Penny pretends to be scared. Seren tosses it on the floor and yells, "Smash it, Penny!" Penny starts to stomp it with her foot. Seren: "Not with your own foot!!!" Seren grabs a very large stuffed animal, about her size, and begins to beat the toy spider with it. She hands the stuffed animal to Penny, which is about twice her size, and Penny pulverizes Evy's hand-made-from-odds-and-ends spider to satisfaction.
Item 2 - Seren was warned at dinner that since she wasn't eating hers while everyone else was eating theirs, she would be eating it while everyone else had ice cream. Penny comments to Seren in an attempt to rub it in: "Mmmm, Seren, enjoy your arse cream!" Mommy: "ICE cream, Penny." Daddy: "Dinner flavored ice cream, Seren." My two year old is sarcastic. I must be doing something right! Although Penny has had problems pronouncing "ice cream" correctly from time to time, I wonder if she purposely used the mispronounciation in this instance...
