So, there was a morning earlier this week where Tory was:
- a mannequin, so that Joh and I could get her PJs off and clothes on.
- a robot, who helped me get breakfast out.
- a cyclops, because she had to put on her patch.
Now, since Tory was wearing her pirate shirt and pirate patch, some people assumed she was a pirate. Not so! She was still a cyclops, or as she put it “an ugly giant with only one eye.” At lunch, the peas in her lunch were princesses, who then got eaten by the cyclops.
