What goes on in this kid's head??

If you've been here a while, you know that my 7-year-old, Kate, issues some pretty crazy requests from time to time. There was the time she ran into my office and demanded "a huge piece of cardboard and a parachute."

Then there was the time she appeared in the living room, pleading for "a spoon, a ladder, a very sharp knife, and A LOT of helpers."

What was she planning? I have no idea. But it probably wouldn't have ended well.

The other day as we were driving in the car, she shouted, "I need duct tape and a highlighter! Fast!"...
