Funnies

After Alexandra's pageant, I stayed at Cortney's for a while playing with the girls. They wanted to play Tumbling Monkeys, which is a variation on Kerplunk. You pull out the sticks and monkeys drop. Riley is getting to be as big a cheat as Cortney. She kept trying to put her monkeys back in the top, or slide them into the ones that dropped. And Riley isn't the only cheater you have to watch, their cat, Tiger, stole a stick out of the tower and wanted to do it again.
The girls had been playing with their new Webkinz. Riley got a hummingbird, and Alexandra got a trigger fish. So they were carrying the new toys with them. I don't know what started the exchange between the girls, when I heard Alexandra tell Riley, "You are a cheater, and so is your hummingbird!"
Later, Riley stepped over some toys and slipped on a plastic grocery bag. As soon as she caught her balance, she looked down at the sack and said, "You scum bag!"
Not a good day for inanimate objects.
