This is another episode of previously on Amara and comes from September of 2008. She was almost 4 and ½.
Grampy and I are always joking about Twursula “holding the bed down” because that cat sleeps more than any other cat and she sleeps very hard. Only 2 thing that can interrupt Twursula’s sleeping, the trash guys and the sound of a lawn mower any where in the neighborhood.
On this particular morning Amara and I were sitting on the bed petting Twursula while she was sleeping. I made a joke about “Twursula doing her job”. Amara wanted to know what Twursula’s job was and I told her — “holding down our bed”.
At first Amara didn’t get it so I explained to her that sometimes the bed tries to get up and take off and it is Twursula’s job to hold it down and not let it fly away. She thought about this for a few minutes and then put her head back and started laughing.
“Peanut Butter does that for me sometimes Grandma!”
“He does?”
“Yes, the other day my bed tried to take off and fly out the window and Peanut Butter just jumped on it and held it down!”
She has the greatest imagination! She is really into pretending! And besides, she “gets” Grandma and is almost as silly as I am.

It’s even better that you “get” Amara and that you haven’t lost your sense of play. By the way, we once had a cat named Peanut Butter!
Amara was just thrilled when I told her you had a cat named Peanut Butter!
That is such a cute story. I just love a child’s imagination.
What a great story! I love Amara’s sense of humor – but of course, she comes by it naturally!!! xoxo
Yes! Yes, she does! xoxox
Love this story! Sounds like your little gal is ripe for a showing of Disney’s “Bedknobs and Broomsticks”!
I’m going to have to check with her Mommy on that one. There was a whole issue with a ghost in the bathroom at the beginning of first grade!!!! I think it was started by some second graders! She gets very clingy if the movie gets to scary.
