Usually Hally has to sleep with two stuffed animals. A stuffed Shamu and a stuffed My Little Pony. Recently I have noticed, when I go to check on her before I go to bed, the Shamu is out of her bed and across the room in the rocking chair.
This was our conversation yesterday.
ME: Hally, how come you don't like to sleep with Shamu anymore?
HALLY: Shamu is being mean to pony.
ME: Why is Shamu being mean?
HALLY: Shamu keeps trying to eat pony.
ME: Why does Shamu try to eat your pony?
HALLY: Cause Pony won't go to sleep.
I love the imaginations of my children. I just hope she wasn't truly afraid of Shamu. No one wants their kids to be scared when you put them to bed. I guess Shamu will be banished to the downstairs toy closet for such bad behavior.
