The Battle of Kitchen Table
Posted By AmyD. on January 28, 2009
So, I admit to being a little worried when Maggie sorted most of her little miniature animals into two armies on the table. There were several toy dinosaurs, My Little Pony, the horse from Mulan, two large rubber lizards and two freaky looking rubber frogs, plus the cute cow from a farm set.
It took her quite some time to sort through them all. Then I heard the most unusual battle cry, it was like a Spanish Braveheart…
“Uno, dos, tres, quatro, cinco!!!!
AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
It was obvious the lizards had the advantage, what with their My Little Pony cavalry, complete with hidden plastic dinosaurs waiting in ambush…
Though they were outnumbered and many of their fellow soldiers were down, the frogs didn’t give up. They fought valiantly on, but every war has rules of engagement. I knew something had gone terribly wrong when I heard the frog say to the lizard, “OUCH! What the hell?”
(that was NOT my fault, she sounded A LOT like Donna from That 70′s Show – OMG, we watch that show WAY too much.)
This caught the lizards off guard! And, I realized that even the enemy can feel sympathy when the lizard said, “Oh my! Did I hurt you? I’m SO sorry.”
But then those frogs must have expected their response because I heard, “HAHAHA! We’ve got you! You are coming with us… loser!”
It just goes to show you, maybe you shouldn’t have sympathy for your enemies.

…and a little child shall lead them.
Maggie has reinforced what I’ve spent my whole life practicing. I feel vindicated. Good.
Chickie’s last blog post..Once Upon A Time…
Maggie has a way of doing that for you.
Maggie cracks me up! LOL :rotflmao:
Mindy’s last blog post..This weekend was a complete blur!
Me too!
All I made my Barbie’s do was have sex when I was her age.
Well, have sex and get lynched.
Ethan used to lynch Kate’s barbie dolls. Okay, that’s not true. He would force the Barbies to date GI Joe and he would lynch the Ken dolls. Sad, but true.
Why does it make me totally happy that they still make My Little Pony? I had one when I was little. :pph:
Laura’s last blog post..Flow issues
I was more the Strawberry Shortcake kinda gal, myself.
I wish I still had my My little Ponies…I miss them.
I love Maggie’s imagination. And I love how she did a reference to “That 70′s Show”…one of TV’s best shows:)
Hope you get your table back in one piece!
Becky’s last blog post..Ring Around a-Rosie
She actually gets caught up watching That 70′s Show with us a lot. Sad that it’s all re-runs, but they show it a lot, we watch more re-runs than we do current TV!
So the frogs outsmarted the lizards? Hmm. Interesting.
Too bad the Lizard Army didn’t include Troll Dolls…’cuz then they would have won.
J…’s last blog post..To tide you over…and allow me some rest.
I bet you’re right!!!
That is SO cute. It reminds me of the time my daughter did much the same thing … only using booze bottles from our bar.
Oh yeah, that’s how great a mom I am.
Crys’s last blog post..When I Go
You are an AWESOME mom!!!
Frankly – I think that the cow was behind the Frog Army victory. Did you see the shifty look on that cow? Only a cow could come up with an “ouch you hurt me” scheme.
:yay: :rotflmao:
I didn’t notice that… but now that you mention it… I’m going to have to keep an eye on that cow!
:pph: My son does the same thing with Hotwheels. He lines them up in two groups and they “battle”. Your daughter is adorable.
