Today while running errands we all ended up at Farm and Fleet. Ivy and I left John and Clara to finish buying tires and headed off across the store to start on the rest of our list. I wasn’t two aisles past where we left them before I realized that I was missing Ivy.

In my world this is not a cause for alarm.

You see if Ivy is missing in a store all you have to do is stop and listen it’ll take about 5 seconds before you hear her talking. If you don’t hear talking, you’ll hear feet running, and if you don’t hear that you’ll hear her ask someone “You know where my Mom is?”.   So I stopped, listened and immediately heard something that sounded like Ivy…but not quite.

I soon found the source of the muffled noises when I realized my daughter had transformed herself into a walking bobble head.

Bobble head Ivy was dressed in her favorite pink stripy dress, purple flip flops, and black, adult size large, full face, motorcycle helmet. She was following me, walking a bit crooked from the restricted vision, with the helmet bobbing around on her head, chatting all the while.

Who knew that you needed a camera at Farm and Fleet?
