I can't believe OS has an imaginary chinchilla. What a random thing to have.

 

I can't stop laughing! Where to begin?

The imaginary pet disguised as his finger? With its own SONG? You wrote that so well. Giggle.

As a life-long UU, I just LOVE hearing about folks who find out about the demonitation as adults.

I'm sorry but we were all whiped out last year by the rotovirus, every single one of us. I ended up passing out in the hallway trying to get to the bathroom (I remember thinking "oh, I'll just take a nap" and collapsing). You were very smart to hold off on Passover.

 

We were both raised Catholic as well but have been attending a Prebytarian church lately as there is such great spirit in this church. They as well were having a Seder meal but we were unable to attend, maybe next year.

Sorry to hear you were knee deep in sickness. I so hope it's over for us this year.

I finally got to the Real Mom Meme, thanks for tagging me.

 

Thank you for this sorely needed laugh. As Bubbe (who I unfortuantely spent a good deal of time with on Monday) would say, your son is a character. Expect she pronounces the ch as ch, not a hard c.

 

My son's preschool teacher informed me yesterday that she and my son had quite the conversation over snack about my older son's "sister" Jenny. (FYI: Jenny is imaginary and is in kindergarten and lives with us sometimes, but not always - and, oh yes, she has purple hair)

The teacher was quite amused with the fact that Jenny seemed very clumsy (she was always around when something was spilled or broken) and apparently had a poor memory (she was always responsible for losing toys according to my son).

The teacher was almost swayed into thinking that Jenny was in fact real - but I think the purple hair tipped her off :)

 

Are there any prohibitions that DO apply to imaginary chinchilas? That's very good to know.. in case I wind up with a chinchila or in the drs office :)
