Heard of the Great Zucchini? Child entertainer in the DC area. And, apparently, creature whose name strikes fear in my child's heart, soul, and mind. When we first mentioned his name, yesterday, C4 realized that suddenly cake and presents weren't such an interesting option. She didn't want to go to her second cousin's birthday party.
Of course, we went anyway. All went fine until suddenly somebody mentioned that THE GREAT ZUCCHINI WAS HERE! And C4 froze, her face squinched up, and she started to cry and demand that we go home.
Instead, we went upstairs to get away from the offending entertainer. C4 cried for at least 10 minutes telling me she wanted to leave, she wanted to leave after the Great Zucchini was gone, then we'd go downstairs and leave after he was gone.
She couldn't exactly tell me what she didn't like about the big green vegetable man.
Except that she didn't like his age. I'm not sure what she really meant by that. But I guess I'll take her at face value.
We stayed upstairs and read books. Like, Sam and Gus (she read about 95% of it) and book about a square pumpkin who saved all the round pumpkins from rolling off and sired a whole bunch of different shaped and colored pumpkins. An interesting read.
Then we had cake. And C4 had thirds on frosting. And I ate the mocha & chocolate filling.
