It's also fun to soak in saliva

Daughter has a big red chair from Pottery Barn that sits in our family room.

The chair is essentially a collection of foam blocks held together by a thick, chair-shaped cotton cover.

Since it's so big and foamy, the chair also doubles as a jungle gym. The kids will turn it over and climb on top of it, or they'll crawl under it.

Tonight, I came out to the sunroom to see her sitting on top of the flipped-over red chair.

"Look Daddy - blood!" she said, pointing at the red cover of the chair.

I checked for any indication of actual blood. Seeing none, I concluded that she was referring to her chair.

"Blood?" I asked.

"Yes, I'm swimming," she replied.

And then (and I can't wait to see what kind of search results this phrase yields) she said this:

"It's fun to swim in blood!"

What kind of music does this kid listen to? Sounds like you need to dial it back on the head-banging a bit. :-)

I say it's too much Discovery Channel.

All the same, I hope you threw her a life preserver. Or a Band-Aid.

I don't get the joke. Sounds perfectly normal to me.
