Greened

Unfortunately, for a two year old, she speaks very clearly and coherently. And she has an inventive little mind. So, naturally, Fia completely greened her friendly, Mr. Rogers' type neighbor yesterday. After her Aunt Allie told her, to stop the nose picking habit, that there are monsters in her nose that will bite her fingers (I could have told Allie that was a bad idea, but I wasn't there at the time), Fia concluded that there must be monsters in all the human orafices. Not five minutes later, Friendly Neighbor told Fia hi and she told him that there were monsters in her butt and they like to eat poo. We can only figure that she took Aunt Allie's story and ran with it. Literally. At the time of the greeting, she was running back and forth across the grass shared by the neighbors - little egg beater legs powered by the monsters in her butt. Makes a sort of 2 year old sense, if you think about it. I think her 3 year old brother, Alder, picked up on Dwight's discomfort because he added to the mix in a very scoffing tone that his monster didn't eat poo, just warm pee. I'm thinking Dwight will never recover and am wondering about myself. My one hope is that Dwight has grandchildren too.

Here's hoping you, too, rather than experiencing post traumatic stress, can turn moments like this into opportunities for personal or spiritual growth. XOXO
