Being Bad

Eden has a little plastic bird that tweets and whistles and will also record short snippets and play them back in a high pitched voice.  Last night Z was playing with the bird and recording things that sound funny when a little purple bird says them in a high pitched voice.  Things like, "Die" said very low and very slow.  Or "You will fail in life," also said low and slow.  He had one-liner after one-liner, all of which the bird faithfully repeated.  Eden, Z, and I all found it very hilarious.

After a little while Z put the bird down and left the room.  Eden immediately picked it up and said into the recorder, "I'll see you in hell!"  Low and slow, of course.  I was a little shocked and gently reprimanded her, saying we don't really want to see anyone in hell.  She sat silent a moment, and then said in a dejected voice, "I'm bad at being bad."

One has to be very careful what they say in front of Eden. Her little mind is a steel trap for language, phrases, words!

I'm glad she is bad at being bad. I love her so....

I guess one could also say to Z, do we really want anyone to die? :) Oh, the subtlities!
