an unexpected hero



Lucy has liked to pretend Peter Pan for about a year and a half now, and she used to always be Tinkerbell, a silent observer who directed me (Wendy) and her dad (Peter/Hook, depending) to act out the scenes. But now she has carved this new hero role for herself, and she plays that she is a sea creature, not a mermaid, but a sea creature that lives in the sea and rolls up like an armadillo and eats flat pirates, which are flat because the crocodile has eaten them first and pooped them out. She is a baby sea creature who cannot talk, and her name is Sleeping Beauty. 

Her superpower is that when she gets really angry because someone is hurting her friends, she shoots something out of her eyes that kills them. She saves Peter when things get desperate and no one else can.

This is a girl who loves to dress up in beautiful princess dresses, but given all the possible characteristics to assign her character, she chose “looks like an armadillo” and “eats crocodile poop”.
