Paper Airplanes of Doom

I had written recently about it being almost impossible not to laugh at Ella when she gets into one of her little fits. We have really been trying not to, because it makes her pretty upset, even as it lets her see that whatever is going on is not too serious.

Enter Ella's new M. O.: the Airplanes of Doom.

Nowadays, when Ella gets into a snit, usually -- she admits this later -- for no good reason, she writes what she intends to be a nasty note on a piece of paper, makes it into a paper airplane, and sails it down the stairs into the kitchen.

Today's note read:

I DO NOT WONT
to Have
BRaKFast

Yesterday's was:

I HAT YOU
MADISON

You can imagine how difficult it has been around here, what with the humor barometer almost exploding, but with us trying like heck not to show her how funny it all is.
