Our cousins, Kate & Mackenzie, found a starfish and sand dollar on the beach one day. The starfish sort of became their little pet for a few hours; they made sure it had water and would hold it and pet it and we all took pictures of it. Mia, of course, wanted in on the fun, so Kate (pictured above with Mia), let her touch it. Then, in a flash, Mia grabbed it out of Kate's hand and threw it on the ground. In the process, the starfish lost a leg. The girls started screaming - it was complete chaos for a few minutes as we yelled and laughed over the horrible (but funny) situation. We ended up and put it back in the ocean so it could work on growing a new leg. A little later, Mackenzie was like, "I miss our little starfish." Poor thing. Note to self: Never let a toddler play with a live creature - at least this toddler.
