You know those fake children that you see in craft shops right? You don't?
They're dressed in proper kid's clothing but made of fabric and they're always turned to the wall with their be-hatted heads in their arms as if they're either counting to ten for hide and seek or crying. They kind of creep me out because the first few times I saw one I thought it was real.
Well, today at lunchtime I saw a kid interact with one of these fake kids outside the (ironically enough) Save the Children shop. This little boy had seized the fake girl's head and was repeatedly bashing it against the window, like a particularly violent action hero.
This made me laugh. This is a four year old braining a fake four year old. OK, so it's sick and twisted, but it is funny! Four year old Die Hard in the streets of Ngaio on a sunny day.
Then his mother caught up with him and said "leave her alone!"
