Dani’s Obsession
September 13th, 2007I’ve mentioned my niece’s obsession with baby dolls, or, as she calls them, “babies.” She must have a hundred of them.
I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned that she is also obsessed with LIVE babies. LOVES them. While her sister and cousins play, she will stay with the adults just to look at and touch and talk to someone’s baby. But it’s never satisfying enough. She is DYING to HOLD the baby, too. DYING.
My sister told me they were all driving home from a little weekend trip last weekend, and in the car she asked the girls what they would buy if they won a ton of money—if money were no object.
Erica: “A horse.” [duh]
Dani: “I would go find some woman on the street and ask her if I could buy her baby.” [!]
Is kindergarten too early to start sex-ed?

It might be too early for sex ed, but it’s never too early to teach children about the danger of talking to strangers.
Some random woman on the street? Dani, come on, where are you 5-year-old street smarts. Sheesh, Cheri, you better get crackin’ on that.

I’m certain she would be willing to raise YOUR baby Aunt Krissy…….Send the wee one our way for Dani’s next B’day gift, would ya’?

Maybe Dani will enjoy changing diapers, wiping drool and getting spattered with regurgitated food.
