Look out for the Wee-lass

Sadly, Water-Eye Weather-Goap seems to be a thing of the past in the Grover household, but I'm still amazed at how long she lasted. After Bekah had finished having her as a regular playmate, Ana picked up where Bekah left off and had WEWG be her imaginary friend for a long time.

I think because both girls are old enough to (usually) play nicely with each other, they don't need to rely on a fictitious friend.

However, just as Superman has his Lex Luthor, Spider-man has his Green Goblin and Martha Stewart has her Securities Exchange Commission, the big girls in our house need an arch nemesis. And so they have the Wee-lass. The Wee-lass levels entire cities and leaves destruction in her wake. She's terrifying. She's horrifying.

But she's also pretty darn cute, if you ask me. See for yourself:


But as Bekah and Ana have their own opinions of the Wee-lass, I thought I'd let them share.

Andrea: Who is the Wee-lass?
Bekah: Miriam.
Ana: Miriam.

Andrea: Why is she called the Wee-lass?
Ana: 'Cause she messes up all our setups and takes things from our setups.
Bekah: "Wee" means little and "lass" means one. So Wee-lass--"little one."

Andrea: You only call Miri the We-lass when she's ...
Ana: Messing up our setups and stuff.
Bekah: Yeah.

Andrea: So what do you call her the rest of the time?
Ana and Bekah: Miriam.
Bekah: Most of the time, Miri.
Ana: But the rest of the time, the Wee-lass.

Andrea: You only call her that when she's messing up your setups. So is she kind of like a bad guy when you're playing?
Ana and Bekah: Yeah
Ana: She, like, captures people.
Bekah: And eats them.
Ana: The people scream, "The Wee-lass is here!" Then they run all around the house. Away from the Wee-lass.

Andrea: Is there anything else you'd like to tell me about the Wee-lass?
Bekah: The Wee-lass always eats your earrings.
Ana: And the Wee-Lass always eats your necklaces. And then, if she doesn't want to eat them, she runs off with them.
Bekah: And if she doesn't want to eat them, she runs off and eats our setup people.

So consider yourself warned.
