You so crazy (and kind of a freak)

So I came across this in my daughter's room a while ago and took a picture. I was slightly concerned by the S&M type feel of this since she is 4 years old (almost 5) and quite frankly the safety aspect of it.


That's one sick way to quiet a Tickle Me Elmo, but 'cmon I think we've all had those thoughts.

Me: Where did the bag come from?
Pipster: Well I took it out of the drawer because I needed to clean up my puzzle pieces.
(ok fair enough, I'm not going to get mad about my kid wanting to clean her room).

Me: Why does Elmo have the bag on his head with a tape measure around his neck?
Pipster: It was raining on our walk and I didn't want his head to get wet.
(Uh huh).

Me: Well, you still didn't tell me why there is a tape measure around his neck?
Pipster: Umm mom can't you feel the wind? I didn't want the bag to blow away.
(Right...how stupid of me).

I did end up telling her about the dangers of bags on a person's head and she informed me that she would never do something like that to a real person because that's how people die. WHAT? Who told you this? It's true but Jesus.

I guess the moral to my story is to inform your kids, or in my case get schooled by them.
