Tape Fixes Everything

Tape Solution #1

Daddy's sock had a couple holes in it after already being patched, and according to my experienced mother, a hole in a darned sock means rag time.

ConLai handed me one of those socks I had set aside on the couch for its death, so I stuck my fingers in the hole and tore apart the sock. This was her reaction.
To her dismay I had broken Daddy's sock. She was very alarmed, so she insisted I use tape to fix it.
I think she has prior memories of Mommy also tearing Daddy's shirt apart (while it was on him). It's a very frightening memory of her past, maybe that's been what her scary dreams are about - Mommy chasing Daddy around tearing his clothes apart.

Tape Solution #2

Things became suddenly very quiet (Mommy alarm #1) as I was washing dishes and my bedroom door was shut (Mommy alarm #2).

I pushed open the door and bumped into ConLai which spilled a container of cake sprinkles. She immediately started bawling. After questions with no answers, we assumed she either: 1- was sad the sprinkles spilled or 2 - was feeling very guilty for hiding in Mommy's room eating sprinkles with the door taped shut.
