The blame game

I have to set up this story before I begin...
Natalie loves Handy Manny and his talking tool friends. She talked about wanting the Handy Manny talking tool box for 2 months before Christmas. That toolbox was under the tree on Christmas morning (I will try to post the video of her opening it...priceless) and she was so excited. She has been playing with it every day since.

OK, so we were playing candy land on Thursday morning and she kept messing with cards, putting them in her mouth and rubbing on her legs and feet. I am still not sure why she was doing this, but I kept telling her not to do it, as she would not only mess the cards up, but the cards could give her a painful paper cut. As most 3 year olds, she knows more than I do and didn't listen. About 15 minutes later, she came crying to me that her finger was hurting. I looked at it, and wouldn't you know...a nasty paper cut. I kissed it and put a bandage on it. As I finished, I said so Natalie what happened to your finger? Her response without hestitation and full of drama was "she did it to me" I asked who did it to you? With tears in her eyes she says "Squeeze hurt my finger".

Squeeze is one of Handy Manny's talking tool friends.....
