So, I go out to the car before we left for lunch and DD is crying hysterically and DH is listening to talk radio and nephew is looking out the window. I get into the car and look closer at DH and nephew and notice they have a sort of smirky look on their face. I look at DH and whisper "
What happened? " He explains DD is upset because our nephew is "holding her invisible pet and he won't give it back. She told him to take a look at the name tag and read what it said and our nephew said it said his name which led DD into a melt down." His answer he turned on the radio to not have to listen to them.
I look at my nephew (who along with DH) has a twinkle in his eye. He is sitting there stroking the fur of the invisible pet - which is evidently a dog. I give him "the modified look" (you know the kinder gentler look vs. the wait until you get home one. This one said I know this is amusing but you know better! Give her the darn thing now please). He gently hands it to her and they then proceed to have this conversation about the pet - she's all calm and collected. We drive to the local restaurant and they walk in hand and hand with her fawning all of him and him being indulgent older brother. Crisis overted. oh yeah - the "invisible pet" did not join us for lunch. I guess it was only there for the car ride.
OMG!!!

Here is another one for you Becka.
