‘Ware! May 22, 2008
Dropping Amy off today at preschool, I noticed they had a big wooden castle set up complete with knights, dragons and royalty. Amy wandered over to investigate and found the dragon, which she waved threateningly at me before placing in the castle courtyard, inside the walls. I did the “ooh, a dragon, how scary” thing and she laughed before looking sympathetically at me.
“No, Mum, the dragon’s not scary,” she said in a teasing voice. I said yes, I was scared, so Amy picked up the dragon, placed it in a nearby wire basket, then picked up the basket and carried it through to the bathroom where she put it up on the highest shelf she could reach.
“You can’t see it now, Mummy, so it’s not scary,” she told me.
