For days JellyBean has had a strange habit of dress. After she is fully unclothed, she takes a long-sleeved shirt and holds it around her waist. She takes a pair of her sister’s pants and puts it on her head.
For the last week, this has been the costume she dons if I turn my head for a second. Yesterday I stopped fighting it, and insisted only that she wear underpants underneath it all.
Today I figured it out. I guess she’s been watching a little too much Prince of Egypt. Only I bet Moses’s or Rameses’s mommy didn’t make him wear Elmo underpants under his kilt.
LOL!
My almost 3 year old is doing the same with her shirt. I don’t know where she gets it. I think it is a version of peek-a-boo.

Using My Words
I love it when the light finally dawns and you know why your child has been doing silly things. Then it stops being silly and becomes downright adorable.
That is hilarious. I remember pulling off my turtleneck sweaters until the neck was stuck on my head, then holding up the long sleeves and pretending I was a rabbit….
Oh hilarious! She does quite a good job of imitating thier fashion… too funny!
ba! I love it! That is way too cute, last night I was trying to figure out what it was she was trying to do. What a great imagination
She is TOO, TOO cute.
My kids were introduced to this costume called “Bumbadillos” by a friend’s kids – you put your underpants on your head, with your socks sticking out through your leg holes and run around the house naked.
This looks all too familiar, but my kids are nine and five. I’m beginning to wonder if I should be worried.
That is so funny. Thanks for clearing that up.
Oh. My. Gosh. Toddled Dredge commented on my blog. I couldn’t believe it. If I didn’t know I shouldn’t have idols you would be one. I feel so honored that you just visited! I have loved your blog, in case you couldn’t guess. Though I am a relatively recent admirer in this big blog world that is still somewhat new to me. Oh, and my husband was a linguist, too. You might guess that’s how we met. Ahhh, the good old days.
Btw, my four-year-old daughter likes to surprise my 12-year-old son’s friends by running around in her underwear. I know I’m supposed to be distressed, but I’m just relieved she’s not completely naked.
I think there is irresistible magnetism between children’s craniums and their underpants. My son dons his undies and tells me they’re his “footbow hewmet.”
I try to embrace the creativity and keep the shenanigans to the privacy of our home.
Too funny. Guess that gave you one of those big ‘ol AH HA moments.
Oh that’s great! I love it when you finally figure out the connections.
Funny! Don’t they make Prince of Egypt undies?
*laugh*, my son does that too…but his idea didn’t come from ‘prince of egypt’….rather his beloved dad, when the dad is out of the bathroom… *wink*
How cute
Figuring out the connection is the best part of being a mother. Well not the best, but the most entertaining part?

Tee hee My daughter can’t watch that movie, she is always incredibly anxious about what will happen to Baby Moses as he’s floating down the river.
Hah!
She longs for power and greatness!
