Pretty Ponies

:D

Tadpole loves "My little Ponies". She owns a small battalion of them. They come in each and every size and colour, and they each have a picture representing their name tattoed on their butt.

Some of them, like Diamond or Rainbow, are pretty easy to figure out. Others take more time, and I still tend to call "Candy" "Lollipop", or blank out on "Sparkles" ("Erm. Atomic Explosion?" "MOM!" "Ok, I don't know, then")

She also got another species of pony altogether for her 2nd birthday: a Strawberry Shortcake pony. It is appropriately pretty, big enough to get promoted as Head Pony and make a suitable mommy to a gaggle of variously coloured Little Ponies, and white with pink spots. But it doesn't have its name tattoed on its butt.

So I asked Tadpole this morning what its name was. She examined the pony's buttocks closely, slightly annoyed not to find the expected clue on either of them. She pondered the problem for a while, and then, suddenly, her little face lit up.

She then showed me the pink spots and happily exclaimed: "Chicken pops!"

:D So Chickenpops is now the pony's new name. Doesn't it just make perfect sense?
