Ankle Biter and Fire Hider

Ankle Biter
Last week, Mike was sitting on the couch when he experienced some sharp ankle pain. He looked down, and there was Phil, chomping away. Always the scientist, Mike set up an experiment to determine whether Phil liked the taste of meat or fabric. When given the two options, Philip chose Mike's dirty sock over Mike's scrawny ankle. With the sock firmly between his teeth, Phil became one with the sock. The following pictures depict Phil at various stages of the sock-chewing process. The touch, the feel, the taste of stinky cotton—it's the fabric of Phil's life.

Fire Hider
On Monday, I called Ali by her nickname "Cookie-Cakes," and she told me that she's not a Cookie-Cakes—she's a Fire Hider. We can thank Barney and his fire house video for Ali's new love of fire fighting. Since watching the movie, Ali likes to dress up in James's old Halloween costume and shout to the smoke detectors in the rafters that she's a "Fire Hider." Note: Ali claims she is not shouting; she's just saying it big. I asked her what fire fighters do, and she told me that they make fountains. When asked what the fountains are for, she said, "They're pretty."
