Thank goodness my second child is a girl. Barbies are so much easier.

  1. Gasping for air, trying to recover from hysterical laughing.

    Butterfly thorax?

    But I don't have a foot.

    Two classic lines.

  2. Sorry to tell you, Whit. It's not much easier pretending with girls. Just wait until Emma shoves a My Little Pony in your hands and says, "mom, pretend you are going to a party and you say, 'I don't want to go to a party,' and I say, 'come on, it'll be fun.'" Then she looks at you expectantly. Thing is, you want to pretend to go to a parade but if you misquote what she just said or suggest something else, it's an all-out fit. Sigh. No, this wierd thumb war play out seems much less complicated!
