Little moments with Abby

Water:
abby: "mom... MOOOM!!!!! WATER!!!! WATER!!!"
me: "what? did you leave water running" (an unfortunate common occurance)
*abby grabs my hand and drags me outside*
abby: "MOM! WATER!!!"
..... ......
me: "yes dear, it's called rain".

crazy desert child.

Rat:

abby: "MOM!"
*silence*
abby: "MOM!!!"
*silence*
abby: "MOOOOOOOOOMMMM!!! LOOOOOOOOOOOOK!!!"
mom in an annoyed "don't wear out my name" tone of voice: "what is it abby?!"
*mom looks. mom screams in a unpleasant, high pitch, squealed, shrill cry*
mom: "ABBY DON'T TOUCH!!!! THROW THAT OUTSIDE NOW!"
*abby holding a flattened, dried out bloody (dry blood, but still blood) RAT that she had in a toy shovel but had picked it up with her hands to show me*
abby: "but mom! look!!"
mom: "i SEE, throw it out NOW"
*abby, confused and slightly nervous, puts rat on couch arm rest instead of outside*
*mom grabs shovel and shoves rat on the shovel. then chucks over the fence*
*shiver *

(i hate rats!)

Bunny!

abby in angry and slightly frantic, scared voice: "MOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
mom: "what is it abby?"
abby: "mom! bunny!"
mom: "what are you talking about?"
abby: "MOM! Maddie! Shelby!!! mom!!!"
abby *SHRILLED VOICE*: "MOM BUNNY!!! LOOK!!
*dogs running a-muck. lapping the yard with her pink stuffed bunny. playing tug of war. ripping the bunny apart to shreds with little white cotten flying in the air*
abby with a look 3 times more serious than in the picture to the right: "DOGS! bad dogs! maddie shelby-- NO!"
*takes the bunny away, rounds the dogs up, kicks them both in the bottom and then shoves them into time out*

Abby takes her stuffed animals very seriously. And she's VERY good at taking action to keep those dogs in line! Don't mess with abby or her stuffed animals.
