I’d like to think my almost two year-old daughter could come up with a few original, out-of-the-box ideas as far as acting out. We value creativity around here and I wouldn’t mind so much if she opted to:

-fingerpaint her crib slats with the anarchy A
-put daddy’s wrist in water while he sleeps
-hold her breath until we let her watch news hour with Jim Lehrer
-convert to Buddhism
-sneak out at night to get a tattoo
-slip a duck into her stroller

But nope. We’re stuck with the old bowl of spaghetti on the head trick.

I may not be original but I’m great fun at parties.
