“Abba-ca-dabba… and Mommy is a lion.”
G is pointing her magical Tinkertoy baton in my direction.
Okay, that’s easy!
“Rooooaaarrr!” I growl at her. She giggles.
“Abba-ca-dabba... and Mommy is a statue”.
Hmmm, another easy one. I just keep my face frozen in a downward gaze. I’ll have to admit, I’m only half-way paying attention to her; the other half is trying to sort out two dozen piles of documents spread around the floor. I guess my stupefied expression is enough to satisfy her.
“Abba-ca-dabba… Mommy is my mommy!”
I missed that one. Still staring at the papers, trying to make sense of them, putting together a filing system in my head … her little voice only registers fleetingly with me.
“Abba-ca-dabba… MOMMY IS MY MOMMY!”
She’s gesticulating frantically in my direction, waiting for me to respond and come back to earth.
I snap out of it and give her a smile.
“YAY, the magic worked. Mommy is back. I love you Mommy!”
Now if only that magic baton could grant Mommy a few extra hours in the day…and perhaps an extra brain!

Aww! That is very cute. You know, in a funny way your children do give you an extra brain. (or at least a divided one!)
What a great game. I'm getting a little weary of "Stop and Go, " which is the V-meister's favorite of late (although you can get a lot done during that one, too.)
They do have magic at that age don't they? Now if she tries to saw you in half ... I'd pay more attention :)
I love it! She is so cute! A childs imagination aways amazes me, what fun.
If you find that magic wand that will extend your time, will you lend it to me?
Could she teach me how to make Wonderbaby into a statue? That'd be awesome.
cute. I often wonder what it would be like with a girl instead of The Boy.
Oh she's SOOOO cute. I wanna put her in a sandwich and eat her! (I always say that to my kids, and the Princess replies "just 'tend mommy, ok? Cause if you really eat my baby brother I will cry for a million days")
Hey, Karen Meg - So cute - this post and you are a delightful writer! I need one of those magic wands too! See ya.

Awww! That is too cute! Gotta love that Little G!
It's sad when kids catch you dazing off into the distance and you have to come up with a lie about what you were daydreaming about because they would never understand: provence, wheat fields, deep blue sky and soft, soft skin
The other day, Jack was asking me to look at him performing a gymnastics move, and I said, "I see!," but I wasn't really looking, and he said:
"Mommy! Don't pretend look!"
Oops....
How sweet! Abba-ca-dabba. :)

Very cute. I just get lasered. Sigh...
