Name games

Alice: I’m cold!

Dad: Hi Cold, I’m Dad.

Alice: [laughs] My name is Alice!

Dad: Are sure your middle isn’t “Monkey” and your last name “Girl”?

Alice: No! My middle name is “Girl”.

Dad: Alice “Girl” C———?

Alice: No, that’s not my name!

Dad: But that’s what you just told me.

Alice: Oh. OK!

The reason Alice was cold was that she wasn’t wearing pants. While eating dinner she dropped a big wad of rice and fought with Poly for possession of it. Her pants lost. I made her take them off rather than ending up with rice all over the floor, thinking having to run around in underwear would be discouraging. Hahaha. Alice was strongly energized by the freedom and bounced about in joyous release. She spent the rest of the evening sans pants. Perhaps a different approach in the future.
