Both of our girls go out of their way to make their points and share their ideas. Because my family spends hours and days assigning and realizing names, roles, personalities and ranks to every stuffed animal in the house, these arguments are weird and surreal.

I was ‘talking’ D’s webkinz cow and the cow was saying she would like to try hamburger.

D, “Hamburger is made from Cow — Dead Cow”

Cow said, “Its made out of pig. Haaaammmmmburger. Ham is pig. Don’t they teach you anything at
school?”

D, “Burgers are dead cow bits.”

Cow replies, “You are a misguided little child with a small mind that has shriveled like a raisin.”

D, “I’ve got a knife and I am going to make hamburger right now.”

Cow, “Great! Where’s the pig?”

D, “No, I am going to make a hamburger out of you while you watch and die”

Cow, “You are sick”
