Hi, there. Thanks for visiting. If you like what you read, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed.
“Mommy, do you have any string?”
“I’m sure I do, what kind of string?”
“Um, like yarn. Fat yarn.”
“Yes, I have that. Why don’t you grab your blue yarn, it’s in your room.”
“Well, I want to use that only for finger knitting only.”
“Well, what do you want this yarn for?”
“For wrapping around my toes.”
Remember that? I can remember taking a piece of string and wrapping it methodically around my finger until the tip turned purple. And being warned repeatedly by my mother and father of the folly of this. I even remember tears and panic at not being able to get the string off fast enough when my finger started to hurt.
“Why do you want to do that?” I ask casually, because I can’t for the life of me remember why I did it.
“Because it’s fun.”
“Well, it’s really not good for your body. You could really hurt your toe or your finger by wrapping string or yarn around it.”
I say this, and I know it won’t matter. I’ll find her, sometime soon, wrapping a string too tightly around one of her tiny appendages.
Because this is what kids do.
My team uses dental floss, yarn is for wrapping around Barbie’s here.

It an experiment in cause and effect and if forewarned also a test of theory.
It is kind of fun to watch your finger tip turn purple.

So very wise of you to bite that back.

So adorable! I remember my nephew sucking on his left arm leaving a bruise. I use to do that as well even though they say its not a good thing to do, I didn’t stop my nephew because he should experience things that only kids do.

Awesome. Yeah, this is what kids do. I remember doing it myself too, when I was little. And nowadays when I use dental floss, my fingertips go all purple, and I hate it!

I also used to do that when I was a child. I use a string to knot my finger and watch as the tip go violet.
