Unadulterated Love

The label in my little one's toy armadillo said that it would grow big if soaked in water. True enough, when my little one left this toy in the tub for a whole afternoon, he came home to find a humungous creature in our shower.

It looked like this

and this

and this

As soon as he saw this, he went out shrieking with excitement ... and with strange joy: "Mummy, mummy, the armadillo became SOOOOOO BIGGGG, and FAAAAAT, and UGGGLY! (Jumping up and down!)

Somewhat disturbed by his overly critical words, I asked him, "But do you still love it?"

With another jump of joy, he cried, "YES! YES!!!!"

Boy oh boy, I call that pure love!
