Oh. My. Gosh. I think I have a goblin living in my house that sometimes possesses my sweet little 3 year old boy. According to Wikipedia:

A goblin is an evil, crabby, or mischievous creature of folklore, often described in as a grotesquely disfigured or gnome-like phantom, that may range in height from that of a dwarf to that of a human.

It got so bad that I will be giving away my sweet son’s huge water-shooting fire engine because The Goblin decided it would be fun to see if trucks can fly. I sat on him at the playground to help him stay in his designated time-out spot (goblins like to run, you see). But before you go thinking I’m an abusive parent, I didn’t actually sit on him. I sat behind him, giving him a huge leg-and-arm bear hug to keep the kicking and hitting to a minimum, as goblins do not liked to be hugged. Goblins also like to cause huge scenes and aren’t satisfied until everyone has noticed them, given them the desired dirty look and whispered some demeaning comment to their friends. Why didn’t I just leave the playground, you ask? Well, goblins like to sabotage any fun that angelic little sisters are having. As easy as it would have been to pack up and go, The Goblin would’ve won, and I just can’t have that! Apparantly a nice loooong nap will bore a goblin, because he was miraculously gone when I woke up my sweet little boy. Yes, my sweet little boy had returned. We read stories, set up teepees in the back yard, danced, ate dinner, watched part of his favorite movie, and enjoyed the evening together. Just the way I like it.
