25 Times the Love

I have 9 daughters named May (one of them is named Emily) and 7 daughters named Ruth. They tell me now that we have 8 puppies named Peanut.

Yes, my girls have built a duplicator. It was simple really. All it took was a big empty box, some crayons, scissors, paper and glue. And let me tell you, the efforts they undertook to duplicate the dog were quite entertaining. At one point, Ruth 4.6 was luring the dog closer by dangling a ribbon out in front of her and then trying to toss the box on top of her before she escaped. And the box is bigger than Ruth is. Spitz was hiding his face as he lost his composure and laughed at her.

Seriously, for the last few days, May periodically disappears and returns in a bit in a different outfit and says that she is Duplicate Number 4 and asks "What was May working on before she left?" She's come up with all their names (one is Liandra). They each have a number.

And now we have more dogs than we know what to do with!

You let them read too much Calvin & Hobbes again, eh? Or did she go the scary route and come up with this on her own?

Oh, that's hilarious! I didn't know it was Calvin & Hobbes, but I'm sure you're right. (We gave her Calvin & Hobbes to get her to read something besides Garfield. We've had enough of Garfield; Calvin is actually funny.)
