Don’t we all wish that?
More from the always-on, always-entertaining Rosie Channel:
“I wish I had a hat with bunny ears, and it has batteries, and it’s almost like plastic, with cardboard, and it lets me hear what real animals are saying. I can hear what my stuffed animals say, but I can’t hear what other people’s stuffed animals say because they don’t like me to. But my hat would make it so I could hear real animals. Like if I saw a bear that was being nice, he’d say, ‘Rosie, you’re great! Why are you wearing that hat?’”
(Update: Rose was napping while I drew the hat for her, and when she woke up she said it didn’t look right, but after I changed the color scheme to her specifications, she was satisfied.)

See? Mad Photoshop skillz. I bet she’d like the book, “No Such Thing as a Witch.” The kids can understand animals when they eat enchanted fudge.

my favorite part–
“Like if I saw a bear that was being nice, he’d say, ‘Rosie, you’re great! Why are you wearing that hat?’”
So funny!

Precious, and I mean it in the good way.

Oh my hecking. Before Organic mentioned the book, my first thought was it’s a great object for a book or short story, ha!

I love this post so very much. Your Photoshop work here is inspired.

Sometimes I almost don’t leave a comment b/c I’m at a loss for words. I love the illustration–and that the color scheme is set to Rose’s specifications. (It’s still early, and that word I just wrote doesn’t feel like a word, and I’m using a foreign computer b/c mine crashed. Maybe it’s not a word)

Hilarious! I’m also loving the story about the cherries in Primary. I hope the chorister remembered to have a good sense of humor about it. Your kids really ARE funny and sweet and wonderful.

Lili, I hope specifications is a word, since I used it too. I did feel like there was a better word I couldn’t quite put my finger on.
Jen, yes, the chorister has a great sense of humor and I think he even actively encourages these kinds of hijinks.
I wouldn’t be surprised at all to learn that there’s some TV or internet kids’ show that features a hat like this one, since Rose does get a lot of her material from those sources. Also, she said the batteries should actually be in a little box behind a door, which I kind of figured, but I liked the look of them dangling anyway.

Come to think of it, this could have also been partly inspired by “Up.” (Love that show.)

But I thought Rose didn’t see “Up”.

I forgot that–you’re right, she didn’t get to see it because we left her home with a babysitter because she doesn’t stay in her seat well. (At all.)
Kinda makes me want to try taking her to it anyway.

I loved this. I love everything about your blog.
