No Wonder They Like Their Gampers

Today, I walked in on DB who was having a phone conversation with our six year old granddaughter who lives in Lincoln, NE.  She often calls and we have to talk to her various stuffed animals AKA her babies.  She has adopted them all.  Apparently, during the course of a phone conversation, one of the babies let it be known that their mommy makes them climb a steep ice mountain to get ice cream and that along the way they have to do battle with coconut crabs.  DB said that sounded like child endangerment and "reported" it to child protective services and so when I walked in DB and Granddaughter were "in court".   (How many six year olds have grandfathers who accuse them of child endangerment and take them to court?) DB was the prosecuting attny. and Granddaughter provided her own defense.  Various babies were called to testify.  Court recessed and picked up later this afternoon.  During the course of testimony from Bill the Duck, one of the babies, it came out that when he did not do his chores, his mommy tied a rope around his waist and dipped him up and down in the toilet.  Granddaughter says the toilet does not have an auto flush so there is no real danger.  When I told her she might be facing jail time, she wanted to know which jail.  I replied, "Lincoln City Jail", to which she responded, "Does it have electric gates?"
Court is in recess again and will resume this evening before Granddaughter's bedtime.
