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!
