Last night I was tucking N (age 7) into bed and found his blue hippo Webkinz animal tangled in his bed sheets. I was stunned to see a watch on Hippo's neck!! N loves this hippo, not because it is a Webkinz but because it is a hippo. Ever since that Christmas song "I want a hippopotamus for Christmas" became N's favorite to wait for on the radio each holiday, he has taken a liking to any hippo stuffed animals he can find.
He has 2.
N's explanation for the watch-wearing-hippo..."It was his bark collar."
My response...
"Hippos DON'T bark!!"
N knows that fact, of course, but it is fun to use imaginative play!

I so agree... I don't make my bed every day... that's why I buy the matching comforter and sheet set! So, how can I enforce this with my son? Love the hippo!
That is so cute. How old is he? I love this story
Amy, Thank you for visiting my blog and leaving me a comment so I would know you were there.
What a delightful story! Aren't children fun? LOL! I'm happy things are going good, in a light-hearted way! Gotta love that!
What a fun story and so glad that dad found his missing watch.........to cute.
Hi Amy,such a cute story. My grand daughter Jalyn,4 yrs.loves the Hippo song as well. She still goes around singing it from time to time.Don't feel bad about the bed situation, my son is 15 and his bed never gets made nor is your room ever clean for that matter. He calls it his organized mess. When he was little I kept it so cute and clean,now he has a fit if I even try and go in there, for fear I will throw out some valuable possessions. He is a huge Packrat. Hope you are having a great spring thus far.
Blessings,Shelley
