Eliza's Inferno
Eliza just told me an amazing story on the way home from school today.
She said she dreamed about a girl and boy who each had four arms and used them to catch Mean Guys and put them in jail. There are many different kinds of jails, one for each Mean Guy.
Here are the jails we could remember when we got home. I call it "Eliza's Inferno," because it sounds an awful lot like Dante--especially the first three:
Arm Jail:
"Lots of arms with hands that catch mean guys."
Head Jail:
"There's a head with a big mouth that eats the mean guys up."
Poky Jail:
"They get poked with sharp knives."
Blue Jail:
"Blue Jail is a swimming pool jail. They dive in the pool and pretend to be a mermaid, and they drown."
(originally, Blue Jail was filled with blue jays who chased the Mean Guys around)
There were many more, but they are lost now. I seem to recall Truck Jail, Gate Jail (where the key was hidden), White Jail, and Green Jail (environmentally friendly, I hope).
