Trixie the Halloween Fairy, Dierdra the Diamond Fairy, Posy the Petal Fairy. I do not exaggerate when I say that I say a prayer of thanks DAILY that they can read. Dora, Fairies and Scooby-Doo are now officialy off my reading list!<br /><br />Yesterday I offended a child deeply by calling her book "drivel". After explaining the word, there might have been some pouting. <br /><br />Oh, and sarcastic kids are good kids! =)Kris Livovichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12328942615612193100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4586498075307285808.post-37254102089878941592010-09-07T19:10:55.045-07:002010-09-07T19:10:55.045-07:00Having been a babysitter for many-a-year, I so fon...Having been a babysitter for many-a-year, I so fondly recall the character names with 7 syllables, always ending in 'ina' (ie: snuffalapugusina) and the climax of the story is that all of life's problems can be magically solved using excess quantities of glitter.kate-monsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06547619080345311074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4586498075307285808.post-78934567369123253442010-09-07T17:07:13.920-07:002010-09-07T17:07:13.920-07:00Best post ever.
