Welcome to Wordful Wednesday……for more information, see my right side bar:
Today it’s Mama Kat from Mama’s Losin It being Wordful, and I couldn’t be happier. I mean, she is the Writer’s Workshop Maven, so she always has interesting things to say. In fact, she keeps me laughing on a regular basis. And not just on her blog. I’m a lucky duck to have her as a good friend!
Laina’s had an imaginary purple house for about a year now. It’s filled with dogs and she often talks about all of the things she can do there that I won’t let her do here. Her purple house statements are sporadic and fleeting, but I’ve been writing them down for my own entertainment purposes:
“At my purple house I went for a walk with Sparkle and Lily and I saw a monster and he be nice to me. I have Sparkle and Lily, I do…on The Diamond Castle they’re the same, they are. They’re at my purple house.”
“I can’t use your car cause I’m still a kid. I wanna drive to my purple house cause I wanna pick up Sparkles and Lily and I will come back. I want my own house and my own car.”
“Jake’s mom has a map to my purple house and he’s gonna sneak and get one of my dogs. I better hurry and get Sparkle and Lily.”
“Efferyfing in my purple house is broking. Because all da dogs are broking efferyfing.”
“It hab a lotta dogs and all my friends can hab one…I mean…I don’t hab a lot of friends, I only hab dogs.”
“I put milk, juice, an water in a cup at my purple house an give it to my dogs. Sparkles and Lily really like it.”

LOL! I just LOVE the things kids say! Very creative. Sounds like Laina’s purple house is a fun place to be
well… except for the fact that everything is broken. And I am allergic to dogs!
How funny, My daughter had imaginary friends for years. You know I have a purple house right down the street from my house.
How sweet! So great that she has such an active imagination!

Interesting, I haven’t heard of an imaginary house! Cool!
How cute is that? Isn’t it wonderful to get these glimpses into your child’s imagination? Sounds like she has a very vivid one, which is a good thing indeed!
That kid has one great imagination!
She has quite the imagination. I love the part about the friends and dogs… how she just has dogs. LOL

I think I have read Purplicious 25x’s this week no joke. I wouldn’t be surprised if my B started having a pretend house very soon.

When I was little I always said I would grow up and live in a pink house…then I realized what I was saying…I could have so lived in a purple house!
What a wonderful idea to write these down! No house here but many adventures with the imaginary friends! And mine is obsessed with driving, I have lost track of the times she asks when she can drive my car!
very cute! I love little kid language, so adorable.
It’s great that you write those little tidbits down. Will make for fun memories later!!!
Adorable! Sounds like she has lots of fun with her imagination.
Now that is too cute!

What a doll! LOVE that active imagination! I love getting a glimpse into that anything is possible, can-do spirit! Sweet, sweet post.
I like the part where she says she can’t drive yet, being just a kid.

Love those creative kids!!
Gotta love kids and their imaginations! If us adults talked like that, we’d be admitted!
Aww!! How cute is she!!! She hab’s a lot of dogs, but not a lot of friends … at least not as many friends as dogs…. how cute.

What a sweet story. I love your photo too.
She would get along FAMOUSLY with the girls in my house!!
Efferyfing at my house is broking too. It’s not the dogs though. It’s my stinkin’ kids!!
How sweet! When I was about her age I had an imaginary friend and once I made my mom late to work because I made her turn around and go home because we had left the house without her.

That’s so funny! My daughter used to talk about how she was married to Eric (from Little Mermaid) and they had 3 kids and he worked at the school and he would call her sometimes to bring the kids over to eat lunch with him, etc. They can be so creative!

Now, I need a favor from YOU. Would you help me get a new meme started? On Thursdays, I am doing a “Thirk Thursday” with “thirk” meaning things-that-irk-me.
I’d love for you to participate by posting a separate item about something that irks you or including it in a regular post.
There’s a way for you to link your post to mine every Thursday.
Unfortunately, I’ve got a LONG list of little annoyances – things that irk me. I’m mentioning one each week.
I would greatly appreciate a bit of help to get this started. Thanks so very much in advance and Happy WW!
another great meme is here! thanks for hosting.

I just dropped my dogs – Anna and Salem at the Purple house. They heard about the grub and insisted Sparkles and Lily invited them. Hope they don’t break anything else!
She is too darn cute. <3
