The girls were playing in the lounge while I was burning food in the kitchen this morning. All of a sudden Miss J screamed: "OWWWWW!!! MUUUUUUM!!!!!!"
I raced into the lounge where Miss J sat cradling her arm. She presented her wound to me, and upon very close inspection a small red line was just visible.
Me: "What happened?"
Miss J: "V scratched me with her claws!"
Me: "Miss V scratched you with her nails?"
Miss J: "No, her CLAWS, mum! She scratched me with her claws! Owwwwwww..."
Me: "Did you mean to scratch her arm, Miss V? (She didn't, and she apologised) Do you need a band aid Miss J?"
Miss J: "YES PLEASE I do. I do need a band aid very very very much, to stop my arm from coming all the way apart!"

About Me
- Alison
- I'm Alison, and my three most important little people are Miss J, twin sister of Miss F - both 4 going on 14 and big sisters to Miss V - who is an impressive 3 years old and anything but the 'baby' of the family.
No doubt I will find it impossible to stick to one theme for this blog, so here is some background info that will hopefully add some sense the inevitable random posts...
The man of our family, M, is no longer with us in body though he is ever present in mind and spirit.
I used to be active in the performing arts 'scene' - Less so now as my girls take centre stage. Creativity is still a huge part of life, though being directed by three toddlers the art form is somewhat different.
I'm always passionate about dramatic arts and creative expression, especially as a tool for inclusion... Bringing me to my next point of focus - Awareness and acceptance of people with diverse abilities. I work with people of all abilities doing anything from playing drama games, making music, talking, teaching, learning and always having fun.
I guess one theme I CAN stick to is that last point - having fun. Living a joyful life is the greatest success, I feel.

Bandaids fix EVERYTHING!
lol - I hate to disagree with Ms J - but it is quite funny!!! Must have caused a run in her upholstery!
he he he she sounds just like my girls....
'mum I neeeeed a bandaid'
'why?' (I can't even see a mark let alone blood)
'I am bleeding to death!'
But Jeanie, Kate and Al...everyone knows that your gizzards can fall out if you don't bandaid up holes in arms and legs.
I once entered my mother's kitchen with duct tape over my mouth. Apparently there was a work man fixing a heater and he was worried my gizzards would fall out my mouth! (is it any wonder I grew up to be feminist...lol)
Little girls and their bandaids. Apparently they stop all pain from invisible tiny scratches.
Deb - They are especially good at fixing things that aren't broken! lol
Jeanie - It was her sisters 'claws' that set me off!
Kate - Your girls sound fabulously dramatic!
Megan - I am so looking forward to the mischief you and the kewl girls will get up to on our Cairns visit. Remind me to pack extra band aids! LOL @ you becoming a feminist and I am glad that there is no trace of duct tape left covering your mouth today.
Melody - Very true. I'm sure removing them hurts more than the scratch.
She's right of course "it's not funny mum!" but that doesn't mean it isn't funny for the rest of us that have been their - as either party :-)
The funny things say and do ... I won't be letting my boys discover bandaids ...Mummy's kisses will have to do.
Oh that's cute, that's very cute.
Mountain Girl - I'm glad someone is allowed to laugh!
Trish - You are a very smart woman. Mummy's kisses are far more economical than band aids!
Tiff - Thanks! I think Miss V's claws are rather adorable, too. lol.
