ok so I'm not so into this yet

uh, funny store time?  Sure, maybe this will help me remember:
Rory gets into the car on Friday with a hunk of ice in her hand. 
Rory  "look mom, this looks just like a manatee"
me  "ok"
Rory continues to praise her manatee as we drive to Krogers, I tell the kids I'm running in to buy money orders, do they want to come with me, or wait in the car.  They choose to wait in the car.  5 minutes later I return.  Rory is crying hysterically, Liam is in the back with his eyes wide open and a "this chick is nuts" look on his face.

Rory:  "Liam made me eat my manatee!"
me:  "What happened"
Rory:  "I said it was dripping a little and maybe melting, and he said 'bite it's head off', so I did!"
me:  "So, did he force it into your mouth and make you chew it up?"
Rory:  "no!  I did it myself, but he made me.  This is my worst day ever, he's ruined my life"

Rory continues to whine, complain, mourn etc. 

me:  "What do you want me to do?"
Rory:  "Punish Liam"
me:  "You want someone punished for ruining your toy?"
Rory:  "It's not a toy, it's a statue!"
me:  "Ok, someone should be punished for destroying your statue?"
Rory:  "yes"
me:  "Rory you're grounded"
Rory:  "why"
me:  "You ate your statue"

more crying ensued till we reached Grandma O'Connor's and she found an "x-ray" (stingray) shaped hunk of ice.
kids...
