While IM-ing with a friend (and ignoring the naughty behavior in the next room), Katherine approached me and said she had been "inked." I didn't understand what she was saying and then I saw her arms and legs that were drawn on with purple marker. Obviously I assumed that she was just telling me she had been naughty so I asked her why she drew on herself. She responded that she didn't and that she had been "inked by an octopus." Further discussion revealed that a "very tall" octopus had been in our house (it walked here on it's giant legs from the ocean) and it chased her and then inked her all over. Once it was done, the giant octopus left our house, boarded a plane (must have been tired from walking all this way and it's recent assault on Katherine) and flew back to Hawaii. She has stuck to this story all day and will not admit that she drew on herself.

Tall Tales
For those of you who know my daughter personally understand she has an active, creative imagination and the following is the tall tale (lie) of the day:

I didn't understand what she was saying and then I saw her arms and legs that were drawn on with purple marker.

Remind me to tell you about the big monster in the park that pulled Larry into a puddle when he was three.
Katherine is so cute. The Stokers were over tonight and Matthew was so confused about their daughter being named Katherine. He was like, "she's not Kaferine!"
That is the cutest story ever. You should write a book on all the stuff that Kat says. She has the most incredible imagination.
She is so funny. Watch out! She has a great imagination. She is going to be a fun teenager.
very creative, the pictures of your family in hawaii in your former posts are so cute!
