I want to be a BUNNY!

Tweet

My five-year-old is upset. She told me so in the car today. Apparently, she's a little peeved that she's a human being and not a bunny. Yeah, that's the sort of issues we face here in our home. Species Identity Crises. I could cater to her childish whim and promise to have her body surgically altered. We could have a specialist give her long ears, fur instead of skin, and those coveted "beaver" teeth. Instead, I figured it was more logical to remind her that she was created to be a human girl for a special reason. That there is a purpose to her life and that as she grows she will discover that purpose. Because every sane parent knows that a child's desire to be someone or something else usually falls under the category of a fad. Give it a week or two, and they'll want to be a cat or a giant or a mermaid. I just can't afford that many surgeries!
