It was a hot day with 100% humidity. The UV index was at 700 quadrillion and I allowed the girls to watch some rare television during the day because the idea of lifting their arms to play even a simple round of UNO had sweat smearing the pick up four colour card.

When I cruelly decided to put a stop to the t.v. watching, I sent them off to find something to do.

They opted to play with their dollhouse. Five minutes into playtime, I noticed they had lined up all of the wee house squatters on the miniature couch in front of the fake, plastic t.v.

Then they just stared at that.
