My 4 year old Mira has a thing where she names all of her animals Lucy. I have no idea why, I can't think of any cartoon characters that she has seen named Lucy. Well she got her hands on my wife's childhood stuffed animal Belle, Snoopy's girlfriend. She has had this animal for about 2 months and the clothes are gone, she always strips her dollies and animals down to "nakkie", more on that another time. Well she brings out this stripped stuffed dog and is calling it Lucy. My wife, bless her, says "No her name is Belle".
Mira: "Lucy"
Jo: "No Belle"
Mira: "Lucy"
Jo: "Belle"
This goes on for about 2 minutes with a 30 something (sorry hon) and a 4 year old going back and forth. My wife finally says "No she is mine and her name is Belle. You already took Snoopy's collar, stripped her naked and you are not changing her name".
Ah the joys of parenthood. This is what happens to you when you have kids.
Belle was Snoopy's sister, not girlfriend....
