But this is probably my favorite one of all.  Beatrice just now asked me if she could take her toy giraffe and sit in my bed and watch one of her favorite TV shows, Ni Hao Kai Lan.  I told her that no, she had already watched too much TV this week, she could go do something else instead.

"But the giraffe is sick and the only medicine that will make him feel better is watching TV. He's injured, and it's really important to him, and also he's never ever seen TV before."

The story was so cute and absurd that I agreed she could watch one episode of the show.  I set up the laptop and turned it on.  She tucked the giraffe into bed in front of the screen, then left my room and closed the door behind her.

"Don't you want to watch Ni Hao Kai Lan?"

"No, I told you, it's not for me, it's for the giraffe."

Beatrice explains the Easter story as she learned it at school chapel.
