Amanda made this adorable puppy hand puppet at school this week. It even made it home without her ripping it's eyes off, which is a huge improvement. However, Amanda refused to use the puppet the way it was intended. Apparently the last two times she has made anything out of a paper bag was for Valentine's Day and the Fall Festival at school. In both cases they decorated the bag and in the end it was filled with prizes and candy.
The first thing she asked me when I picked her up was for some candy to put in her bag. I tried to explain that the only thing she was supposed to put in this bag was her hand, but she insisted on candy and refused to hear any other explanation of what you could do with the bag. So, caving as I always do, when we got home I put two pieces of candy, some fruit snacks and a fruit by the foot in her bag. She was completely pacified and satisfied. Of course I had to give Sarah candy too.
This puppy is just a symbol of the lack of control I have over that girl. Don't be surprised if he mysteriously disappears within the next few days.
