Singing Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer, Jill suddenly stopped after the verse, "...used to laugh and call him names," and complete with wide eyes and finger wag, announced sternly, "Mumma, calling people names is NOT very nice!!"
Jill had a humidifier in her room last night because she has a cold and a lingering cough. After coughing himself this morning, Matt told me that he thinks HE needs a "campfire" in his room tonight so HIS cough will go away.
Jill's newest fear is of tarantulas, which she calls "anchelas." She told me that they are "big and furry and slimy and when you touch them they sting like a bee and they're very SCARY." I asked her who told her about "anchelas" and she said that her 7 year old cousin Ryan told her all about them. After two hours trying to convince Jill that there are definitely NO tarantulas in "our land" - I was absolutely NOT going to "go there" regarding pet tarantulas - I called my dear nephew on the phone and made him tell Jill that he was just kidding. We still had to take Jill's clock out of her room though, because she thought the ticking sound was a "aranchula." *sigh*
