A Black Hole of Happiness

I was obsessed with bathing my stuffed animals and used to do so until their fur all fell out.

Do you think this relates to our horrendous proclivity for not making the guy pay for all date-type activities???? What does this mean re: Lil' Ty's future dating prospects? Will he or won't he conform to the prostitution model?

When I was small and helped my mother with the dishes, I would put on a wedding between the soup spoon (bride - obviously) and the fork (groom - obviously), officiated by a (dull) knife. The bride wore a dishtowel as a veil. A teaspoon was a flower girl and cake fork was the ring bearer.

It was all hearts and flowers until the bride ran off with that rake, the dish.

When I went to bed each night, I used to arrange mine around the perimeter of the bed as a sort of protective barrier between me and any monsters that decided to come out from underneath or from the closet.

Wee Slothrop was terrified of his bed a few months ago and kept coming to ours. Apparently the animals were no help. I finally got him to tell me that he was afraid of "the wall," the bed being along the wall. So I turned the bed 90 degrees so that only the head was touching the wall. He was delighted -- end of problems. Weird that.

The Brazenette has a teddy bear that lights up named "Lights". At night, after I've read to her, she turns on Lights and I get up and turn off the lights.

In my house, the problem is the accumulation of stuffed animals, which over time has meant that Wee Slothrop barely fits into his bed with the animals, and that he spends considerable time carrying them all upstairs and downstairs. But he doesn't switch favorites -- Monkey has always been #1 in his heart, though it has been joined by Little Monkey and Red Monkey (who is really a plastic toothbrush holder, but don't tell him that).

Secret_Agent_Baby No. 2 is not a huge stuffed animal fan, but she loves her some baby dolls. At her age, the names aren't all that creative.

The multiplicity of Monkey names reminded me of "Big Baby" (the favorite, and actually middle-sized), Little Baby, Bald-headed Baby (poor thing), Sleeping Baby, Memo Baby, etc., etc.

That's interesting. I guess kids just have an innate sense about their biological fathers.

That's a great idea. Do you know where to find such a thing?

I think I got it at WalMart.

And my daughter has a baby doll named "Brown Baby". Beat that.

I hope that you are cheered up today, but either way, I have ordered the rose petal turn-down service for you.

That's a little freaky - certainly scarier than a wall.
