We played a great game today. Penelope and Mrs. Picklebottom. Penelope smacks her lips, speaks in an abrasive whine (maybe a bit of Jersey in her) and Mrs. Picklebottom must reign her in. I love being Penelope!
My daughter is not sure what to think. She tried to explain to me that picking everything up in the store and putting things like greeting cards on my head was not the thing to do. She also said Penelope wasn't supposed to do the wiggle her bottom dance in the aisle while holding cards on her head. I feel bad for Penelope. Mrs. Picklebottom doesn't even want her to scratch the inside of her nose. How else is Penelope going to make it stop itching??!!
I think Penelope is going to go out with us more often because it was the easiest round of errands we've ever had. And now, my princess, who never sleeps, is sleeping. Which is good. She was up at 4 this morning.
Hopefully, she and Mrs. Picklebottom will wake up refreshed and ready for Penelope's antics. If not, I will have had enough of a break that I will be ready to play birthday party again.
