Cullen was playing "baseball" (really just underhand pitching, hitting, and retrieving) with Stuart last night, when our last wiffle ball rolled under the porch. It was far out-of-reach, and dinner was almost ready anyway. So Cullen explained to Stuart that it would be better to go inside for the time-being, and worry about how to get the ball out

Tie a piece of string to another whiffle ball and get it to go in after it. They'll make friends and then they'll both come out.

(See also the show "It's always sunny in Philadelphia"; sub "cat" for "whiffle ball".)

Yes! That show is the source of many (often inappropriate) references in our household.

I love this story. I don't have a tiny baby anymore.

[amanda_mary]

She'd have to be very small to take on this task. Like, a 20-week gestation fetus who could army-crawl.

Piper's head wouldn't fit. Sorry. :(

[amanda_mary]

Now, if only we could get the (ex-utero) version of the Piper in your userpic to assist us ... .

oh, I thought for sure the next suggestion was going to be sending MaryAlice in!

[amanda_mary]

I think that's why he specified "little, little baby." He still calls her a baby, even though she's a gargantuan 25 pounds. (Okay, so I guess that's pretty average for an 18-month-old ...).

Well, to make lemonade of the situation, you've just added a great selling point to the house! FREE WIFFLE BALL!!!

[amanda_mary]

Yes! And all sorts of untold treasures!
