Terrifying words from one's three-year-old...

[rivka]

"I need these to work my Terrible Magic."




This was shortly followed by: "I'm going to cause something. Cause! Cause! Cause!"

I'll bet she's reading your Harry Potter books while you're not looking. :-D

I'm betting that she's been listening to me work on the annual budget for our church. :)

It frightens me when you use that icon to refer to our daughter.

I think it might be a reference to Bartholomew and the Oobleck (http://www.amazon.com/Bartholomew-Oobleck-Caldecott-Honor-Classic/dp/0394800753/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1208204280&sr=8-1). At least, she said some other stuff about eating boiled owls which is a direct quote from that book, so the terrible magic and the causing things probably come from Bartholomew too.

In which case, I approve. (Bartholomew... is my very favorite Dr. Seuss book).

Now you need to introduce her to real oobleck (http://www.instructables.com/id/Oobleck/). (Although I recommend omitting the coloring).

I just recently figured out that she has the attention span now for the long Dr. Seuss books. It is SO nice to be able to move from Green Eggs and Ham to The Sleep Book and Bartholomew and Happy Birthday to You.
