Her friend is called "South". She is from South America.
This imaginary South is very nice, in that she is always there to play with Little One when She needs a pal. But I have to tell you, South is really quite the trouble-maker.
Little One has regaled us with many a tale about the adventures of South, and South seems to get into a lot of trouble.
South, for instance, loves to color on the walls. She makes BIG messes and doesn't even clean them up! She wears her muddy shoes all over the carpet and she throws dirt! And. She has a LOT of, well. Accidents. In her clothes, on the floor... she seems to have a serious problem.
For awhile it seemed that's all we'd hear about South.
Yesterday Little One was telling a friend at a playdate about South, and I learned that South is not a baby anymore, but has grown up to be a Big Girl, and now she is three. So she doesn't have any more accidents, thankfully.
But Little One still has to put her in a lot of time-outs.
So far all of these antics are only stories, and I haven't had to deal with any actual evidence of South's misdeeds. So far.
This reminds me of a movie I used to LOVE as a kid; Drop Dead Fred. Have you seen it? It's SO funny! Or at least, it was when I was 8. If you want an idea of what we're dealing with, with this "South" person, you should watch it! But DON'T let your little kids. Or you may end up with a dirty South of your own!
