The past few days I've noticed a morbid pattern with Sophia's chatter about Tigey, her pink-striped tiger. Whatever I have cautioned her about earlier in the day, Tigey has gone off and done it anyway with dire consequences:
"Tigey tripped and fell down and was crying..."
"Tigey didn't look for cars and got hit..."
"Tigey didn't wear a lifejacket and she fell in the water and she drowned..."
"Tigey died yesterday. (Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.) She's better now..."
Will Tigey ever learn?!...
