Puppet Shows

Inspired by visits to Fairyland, where she has now seen a few puppet shows, Olivia will frequently ask us "Do you wanna see a puppet show? It's about [insert name of train here]." This morning she got up from the breakfast table and with great dramatic flair asked, "Do you want to see a puppet show?" Then, assuming a warning/conciliatory tone, "It's a liiiitle bit scary." Then, her eyes widening in emphasis, "Um, it's really, really, really scary." "And, it's about a butterfly..." this of course makes T. Jay and I start to crack up... we're holding back our chuckes as Olivia finishes up, "and a crab that PINCHES!!" The final flourish is Olivia jumping up in the air, brandishing her crab-claws. The kid has an understanding of drama... and, apparently, some interesting puppeteering concepts.
