Red face Emma and the killer toy

figured I would start a post on my baby girlie.
so two days ago, I brought a toy home from the store. Miss Em doesnt like anything bigger than her head. Kinda tough to find a grey toy, that small. Well Since her brothers got the large batter up toy, and they made a tiny version of it, thats what the princess got. At first she lowered her head, puffed up, started swaying with her eyes pinned, let out some sort of snort gasp snort. Then once in her cage, she turned her back on it and went to sulk in the corner. Because of her neck, when she sulks, it looks real pitiful. She looks like a kid in the corner with their head on their knees.
She doesnt spend the night in her big cage, she has a little cage in the guest room. She has decided she does not like her big cage at night.
the next morning I put her back in her big cage, and she went back to sulking. I did not take the toy out because she was not showing fright.
I came home from work, and every stich of wood is off it. She never chews on wood, but this one did not survive her wrath.
They boys are busy making toothpics out of their toy, and Miss Em has managed to kill hers. If you saw the grey room that day, you would think I lived with a bunch of beavers........

but a fun time was had by all, and thats the important part!!!

Hell hath no fury like a woman who hates her toys.

Go ahead Emma. Kill it.

When I leave in the morning, I always give them jobs**LMAO**
Sydney and Stirling are to kill the toys, and Emma is to keep an eye on the boys and tattle on them when I come home. She's supposed to make sure Stirling is not up there teaching Sydney to swear!


an no...i didnt take pics...my bad...

It's angelic... unlike the bird himself. His latest trick is to ask for a kiss, lean forward and bite the snot out of any sucker returning the kiss. Then, he rushes away and laughs.
