A new imaginary friend

Category: At Home

As I was putting dishes away, I heard Lucie talking to someone. So I asked, "Lucie, who are you talking to?" thinking it was to one of her animal buddies.

"I'm talking to Potato Seal," she replied.

Potato seal? I looked around -- no stuffed toys in sight. "Lucie, who are you talking to?" I asked again.

"The potato!" she said. Lucie pointed to the yam on the table that I was going to cut up and cook for my dinner. "It looks like a seal, Mommy."

I'm glad she has such a vivid imagination. Yet talking to a vegetable is a bit extreme. Before I know it, she'll be having a tea party with the toaster. We need to get a dog for that girl. Or at least something I won't be eating for dinner.
