We have one of those little pop-up toys where you have to push a button or switch or turn a dial to make one of four characters pop up. Ours is a Winnie the Pooh addition. Just before bed this evening Daddy and Lil' H were playing with it and Daddy is trying to turn the dial to make the Eeyore pop up but Eeyore appears to be jammed and/or broken. Something like the following conversation ensued:
Daddy: "Uh oh, Eeyore's broken."
Lil' H: "Eeyore just needs his friends Daddy." she pushes the button for Pooh, slides the lever for Piglet, rocks the switch for Tigger and then proceeds to turn the dial, and lo and behold, up pops Eeyore....
She continues to play with the toy for a few minutes after that and when she gets bored of that and moves on Daddy steals the toy back in rapt wonder. Once again he manages to get Eeyore jammed. We have a replay of the previous scene. Daddy is left completely mystified but after inspecting the toy he discovers that once in a while Eeyore gets turned inside the toy and jams, but when the other three characters are opened first it shakes Eeyore loose so he can then be popped open.
So Daddy turns to me, explains what she just did and asks me if I taught her how to do it, meanwhile I'm just as mystified as he is!
Apparently Eeyore is just shy and needs his friends.
Where does she think of these things???
