aggravation

[flea]

I am cooking mac n cheese. Casper is sitting on the stool smashing elbow macaroni with the blunt end of the salt shaker. Small pieces of pasta are spraying over the kitchen.

mr. flea: "Why are you doing that?"
Casper: "To aggravate."
me (can't believe my ears): "You're doing this to aggravate us?"
Casper: "Yes."
me: "Well, you're succeeding."

Rainy, cold days full of quiet and domestic snuggling are all well and good, but we forgot the massive energy that even a mellow two year old possesses. Would like Kid Habitrail now, please.

To aggravate -- hee hee.

Sounds like she has a great future in aggravation.

Maybe you could get her a large clear plastic KidBall(tm) so that she could harmlessly roll about the house?

Yes, one with little breathing holes in it! I'll bet she'd love it.

Yes, we've often wished for one of those.

I'd be bound to ask, "What do you want to happen when you aggravate us?" Poke, prod. "What do you think will happen?"
