Madeleine's Bag of Art

Madeleine came home from school with a BAGFUL of art projects from her extended day program, as they are about to embark upon a new unit.  I had planned to take a look through the bag of Farm-themed artwork, but before I could get to it, Madeleine displayed her entire tableau of works across the living room floor:



It turns out she has some pretty grandiose plans about where we're going to put all this artwork.

MADELEINE: So, Mama, where you gonna hang all this?
ME: Uh, how about on the fridge.

I then proceeded to hang one piece of artwork on the side of the refrigerator, to Madeleine's disapproval.


MADELEINE: No, I think you should hang it from the ceiling, so it looks like it's hangin' from a BRANCH!

As I attempted to explain the impracticalities of such an endeavor, Madeleine explained how easy it would be to execute.

MADELEINE: You could have a string, and...maybe Daddy could do it with a chair, or you...and you can tape the string, and you can have a clip on it, and you can put the goose on the clip.

She wants this in the kitchen.  That would not be a fire hazard at all.

Something tells me she's not going to acquiesce to me recycling any of this.  She has already started giving names to the various animals.  After all, Goosy is hanging on the fridge and even that's not a good enough VIP spot.  Where on earth will Rainbow, Fluffy, Piggie, Barno, and Chickadee go??
