jenga

Today Zachary and Chayce tried jenga for the first time. After the first round, they wanted to build with the blocks. There was an immediate disagreement.

"We're going to build a treasure chamber!"

"No, we're going to build a fairy house."

"No!!! The treasure chamber is a jail for the monster. And if you let it out, it will eat everyone in the world."

"But the fairy loves the monster, and I need to let him out so we can get married."

"He will eat you alive and (content edited for those not living with little boys...)"

"But she loves him! He will change for her..."

At this point I made a feeble and completely ineffective attempt to discourage my daughter from stereotypical dreamy girl irrational thinking. She's only four.

Eventually they compromised and built the fairy house with a sidewalk to the treasure chamber, and the monster was not released.
