I now record Martha Stewart for my five year old. While I realize that in some places this would amount to cruel and unusual punishment and perhaps child abuse, in my defense, she asked for it. Crafty Doodle saw a commercial for Martha's Halloween decoration show and asked me to record it for her. She LOVES Martha. We tape all of her shows now.
When I came home from work a few days ago, the girls were playing "Martha."
"Mom, we're making a Christmas craft on this show. Here's your tree, and you need to put the pipe cleaner on like this."
"No! Not like that!" She throws me a withering look worthy of Martha. "Like this. And we're taping this show, by the way." After I fashioned the glitter pipe cleaner into a star on the top of the tree, I had redeemed myself.
So last night we fired up Martha, and the featured holiday item was flavored vodka.
"Mom, can we make that? I think they would make nice Christmas gifts."
Hmmm.... we've never given vodka as a Christmas gift before. Wine, yes, Champagne, yes, Vodka, no. But I'd bet they would be crowd-pleasers....funny how she shows an innate understanding of our family even though she has no idea what vodka is. What the hell, I think.
"Sure honey, maybe next weekend."
"I want to make the one with the cranberries."

This is outstanding. Since she doesn't want to be called Doodle any more, you should just start referring to her as Martha, especially since "Boozehound" is already taken. :)
