Beauty and the Beast Game

Evelyn got Beauty and the Beast dolls for Christmas. They are some of her favorite presents. She plays with them all day. The Beast is especially fun because it transforms from the Beast into the prince. Has anyone noticed the Beast doesn't really have a name? It's just "Beast." Well, Michael solved that problem. He is now officially named "Brutus."

Last night Michael was playing with Evelyn. She let him be the Beast, and she was Belle. Evelyn had Belle pass a domino to the Beast and said, "The phone is for you, Beast."

Michael put the "phone" next to the Beast mask and the conversation went as follows:

"Hello? Who is this? You want me to scare your children?! Uh...I've never done that before. Ah, they didn't eat their vegetables, huh? Ok. How much will you pay me? $22?! Ok! I'll be over there in a jiffy!"

How the junk does he come up with stuff like that? When I play with Evelyn, it always turns out eating, sleeping, eating, sleeping....and any time I try to add some drama, she solves the problem instantly and then we go back to eating and sleeping.

Anyway, Michael and Evelyn got in an argument about how you can't scare children. Belle insisted that the Prince would never turn into a real boy if he acted like that, and the Beast insisted he was helping the parents teach their children, "And I got a smooth twenty bucks!"

The argument ended in a compromise: Beast can only scare boy children.

Here is Evelyn with her new dolls:
