Aunt Jawsy and the lost dog!

A couple of weeks ago Ben told me that he had a dog and it ran away. She is white and her name is Maddie with "real" teeth. She's Very big and nice and she is lost. She ran away to a mean persons house and he is insisting that I go and find the dog....we have never had a dog!

Ben told his preschool class that his dog is missing and I had to explain to the teacher when she ask about our dog that the dog is imaginary.

Then he let me know that the dog was fine and will be staying with "Aunt Jawsy". I ask him who is Aunt Jawsy? He told me that it is his aunt and she has crazy hair and yellow eyes (obviously). He told me that Aunt Jawsy lives on a farm and Maddie (the dog) will be staying with her for a while (that's a relief...I don't even want to take care of an imaginary dog). For the past couple of weeks Ben will give us updates on the dog and Aunt Jawsy..for instance the other day Ben and Aunt Jawsy painted my van red (it was already red...but he was super excited to show me and luckily he didn't really paint it).

Last night at dinner I was trying to get Ben to eat some meat (Ben only eats cereal, fruit, and any type of dessert) and he, as always, refused. I then told him that it was a cow from Aunt Jawsy's farm and that she killed the cow just for him and that she really wanted him to eat it (do I sound desperate?). AND the vegetables were from the farm too...so he had to eat those. I than "called" Aunt Jawsy and confirmed that she wanted him to eat his dinner. Ben ate every bite after that...I think we will keep Aunt Jawsy around for a while!!
