Don't hit, don't bite, don't tackle, don't push....

These were the instructions my 3 year-old niece gave me while she left me to "babysit" Max when she went to "Sam's Club" today. I got to babysit Mabel & Weston today and Mabel taught me all about playing "Sam's Club". She is big into pretending these days, so she was going to Sam's Club and I was to take care of Max and make sure I didn't do any of the above to him. She would take one of Max's toys, go to the front of the house (Sam's Club) and then come back and show me what she bought (the same toy). I had to ask how much it cost and the average amount of the various items was $4 million.

Another fun game we played involved putting stickers of Disney pricesses on our hands and pretending they were talking to each other. Here is some of our conversation:
Me (as Pocahontas) to Mabel (as Ariel): "Ariel, I love your hair!"
Ariel: "Thanks! I love your hair too!"
Pocahontas: "So Ariel, do you have a job under the sea?"
Ariel: "Yeessss."
Pocahontas: "Really? What do you do?"
Ariel: "I work with computers."

Pocahontas also asked Ariel if she voted yesterday and she said she had. Ariel said she voted for Clinton. Hmmmmm...........
