The Other Tess Strikes Again

She's at it again, that other Tess. When my toddler Tess, gets caught doing something she shouldn't, she's quick to blame "the other Tess." Who painted the mirror in mom's expensive red lipstick? "The other Tess." Who dropped glitter and beads all over the living room? "The other Tess." I guess it does make some sense to a four year old that her imaginary friend would be the trouble maker. Her brothers don't buy it for a minute, but me, I'm not so fast to judge. I had an imaginary friend (my shadow) who did bad things like cut the baby's hair and flood the bathroom floor. I'm more understanding about it, so I'll be keeping an eye on that "other Tess."
