Godzilla Reincarnate

There are certain things I omit from the standard parent-kidling conversations about my son: that he doesn't sleep through the night, that he is a major mama's boy, that he likes to use tampons as soothers, that he bites, and that he destroys things faster than Bush can say evil-doers.

I had never really noticed the dramatic destructive tendencies Sacha possesses until we arrived in Alberta for our extended holiday. To illustrate my point, I have compiled a brief list of the things Sacha has destroyed since our arrival to Alberta.

1. My mom's kitchen


2. My mom's $700 area rug by dripping peach mung all over it


3. The view-finder on my camera


4. A glass plate from Elliot's tea party set


5. A sugar packet display at Boston Pizza


6. An entire table and sitting booth at Boston Pizza


7. A Sesame Street keychain display at Elephants Never Forget


8. A Baby Einstein display at Elephants Never Forget


9. Pretty much all of Elephants Never Forget


10. A shelving unit filled with to go containers at Bueno Gelato


11. Pretty much every to go container on said shelf at Bueno Gelato

Things Sacha has attempted to destroy:

1. My parent's 52" plasma HDTV


2. A display of expensive art at a friend's place of work


3. My sister-in-law's HDTV


4. Two computers and their CD-ROM drives


5. A cat


6. A space heater


7. My sanity (the jury is still out on which list this item belongs on)

And the list grows exponentially by the day...
