I’m not sure how to tell this story without bringing on the spammers and creeps, but it’s too good to pass up
An old co-worker of Eric’s gave Lucy this Disney Princess learn-to-write book with an attached magnetic drawing pad. It’s a perfect travel companion for the car — highly recommended for the 2-year-old set once they learn how to clear the screen by themselves, if you’re looking for something that will keep them occupied more than 0.2589 seconds.
One day, Eric was putting Lucy into her car seat, and when he handed her the book, she asked if he could draw her an octopus. Eric’s a good drawer, and Lucy was enamored with his creation.
“Oooooh! What his name?” she asked, wide-eyed and grinning.
Eric blurted out the first octopus-related name he could think of: “Pussy!” And scrawled the words across the top of the board.
Lucy, in the obsessive, repetitive way of toddlers, now demands Eric draw her an octopus — and write *ahem* Pussy’s name — every. single. time. we get into the car.
So, now we have Eric standing at the open car door, lightening-quick sketching an octopus on a pink Disney Princess magnetic drawing board, and Lucy excitedly yelling to the world: “I LIKE PUSSY!”

lmao way to go Eric!
too halarious!!!!
gee and I thought your Dad taught you some good ones! Must be a Dad thing.
OMG too funny!
And you’re right it is the PERFECT car companion. Ky has that exact book and we keep it in the car that way it’s “new” to her each time and not a toy she’s plays with all the time and gets tired of.
Baaahahaha
I love guys and their ability to think quick…it ends so many times in a hilarious story like this !
awesomeness. pure awesomeness.
OMG that is too funny. I wonder how many times Lucy has been overheard in her glee declaring she loves pussy. I certainly have had my laugh today.
Cats are wonderful pets (wink).
Oh my great goodness. I actually laughed out loud and Josh looked at me like I was a crazy woman.
