I wasn't feeling well this morning (a holdover from not feeling well Friday night and all day yesterday), so I skipped church this morning. Since PeeJay is on vacation this week, and Hubby has to preach, I knew it meant the entire female Fry & Co. contingent would be staying home.
I moseyed downstairs in search of something to eat that actually sounded good. I was finally sitting down to eat, and had the kids doing the chores they were supposed to do yesterday, when Large Fry popped into the room.
Wearing, I should point out, a pink shirt with little brown terriers scattered all over it, heavy cotton winter stockings, and a pink tutu with large, shiny sequins. Oh, and white socks with orange cuffs. She's being a ballerina today.
"Mommy, I found a whisker..." She held up a short, coal-black whisker. Koa's. (She's the only one with all-black whiskers.)
"Then throw it away," I instructed. Really, I thought. Do I need to be consulted for this?
"Oh." Large sounded a big dejected. "I thought we could use it for the eye things."
She left the room as I closed my eyes and tried to avoid a literal facepalm.
Large had wanted to use Koa's shed whisker as a false eyelash.
OK, that's cute, right there.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you had some scotch tape handy to indulge the Fry's, didn't you?
