I was playing with my 3-year-old little, pretty, adorable, smart, lovable, cute niece (and goddaughter) Iya this afternoon.

First, we were sliding on the treadmill (well, she was sliding and I was manually pulling the treadmill belt). Then we were stacking the beanbags and kicking them afterwards. Then we played pretend--something like Dora the Explorer, in outer-space style. Then we played with the shoe closet until we smelled like stinky shoes. Aack.

Afterwards, we left my house to go to her house. First we were playing with her Vtech apple thingy. Then we were rolling around her bedroom floor. Then we played Barbie and Kelly--Powerpuff Girls and Kung Fu Panda style, with a little bit of Hannah Montana in it.

Anyway, while she was holding Barbie and combing all the blond hair sticking out, Iya was muttering words to Barbie. The most striking of which was,
"You're so hot!"

O.M.G. My 3-year-old niece is calling a toy doll "hot."

My 3-year-old niece is calling a toy doll "hot."

Can anything be more disturbing than that? Geez. It's not surprising, though, where Iya probably got that: my brat of a sister. JINKY. Ugh.I am putting a restraining order on Jinx. She is not to get within 50 feet of Iya. Pffft. Haha.
