Last week a different little girl took over my sweet little Lucy's body. So to keep things straight, we named her evil twin sister "Yucy," which is how Zach pronounces Lucy's name.
Yucy's first appearance was Monday night, April 4th, when mommy went upstairs to get toothbrushes for the kids and saw that someone had unrolled a FULL roll of toilet paper in the bathroom, stuck half in the toilet and wadded up the other half in the sink and turned the water on. I immediately assumed such shenanigans were Zachary's doing since such an act is a little above a 4 year old, but Yucy eventually fessed up with the explanation that "she was having fun."
Tuesday, April 5th. Yucy reappears at Wal-Mart. Mommy is grocery shopping for birthday cake supplies with both kids, alone, around 4 p.m. (with every other SAHM in Las Vegas) and Zachary is trying to conduct a game of "See Mommy Run," which consists of him running up and down the aisles as fast as he can and knocking things off the shelves. Mommy hates this game so she buckles him in the cart and he begins screaming bloody murder. Mommy finally distracts him with some goldfish crackers when he suddenly lets out his most blood curdling cry yet. Yucy has bitten his foot so hard he is bleeding and he is inconsolable for the next 20 min. Everyone is STARING.
Thursday, April 7th. Yucy strikes again. Zachary received his brand new train set for his birthday, and while mom is in the shower Yucy takes a glue stick and SMEARS a streak down the middle of the entire track. The dried glue is almost impossible to pick off once it's hardened and the train can't attach to the track anymore. Daddy loses it.
Friday, April 8th. Yucy colors on the stainless steel refrigerator with permanent marker.
Saturday, April 9th. Yucy wants to play with Zachy and Daddy's birthday cards, so takes them outside (money and all) and loses the birthday check mommy's parents sent. When Daddy finds her with the money and gift cards he takes away the gift cards so Yucy secretly replaces them with credit cards from mommy's purse.
Sunday, April 10th. Mommy goes in the downstairs guest bathroom to find poopy brown water SOAKING the floor and the toilet clogged. Again. Yucy has overfilled the toilet with toilet paper and used the toilet brush to "clean up the floor." Barf. And retch. Mommy loses it.
Tuesday, April 12th. Yucy gets gum in her hair and mommy tries everything she can think of to get it out. Nothing works. She cuts 5 inches off in one fell swoop with the kiddie scissors. It's still pretty curly, but no more ringlets from what I can tell. What do you think? Think it's time for Yucy to go back where she came from and Lucy to come back home?!? Me too!! 
The gum knot. Lucy FREAKED out when I showed her this chunk of hair. She said, "Don't show me that mommy! It didn't even hurt!"

Ha ha ha ha! That was so fun to read! I'm sure not fun at the time, but very entertaining for your blog readers. Oh, the joys of motherhood. It's nice to know i'm not the only one who has sneaky kids and gets stares from all the people at the grocery store when one kids laughing while the other one is screaming in pain.
Oh what a sad tale of woe. I hope Lucy has reappeared and her evil twin has disappeared into an alternate universe (at least that is what happened to Captain Kirk's evil twin). I'm so sad about her beautiful hair, but hair grows back. Oh the joys of parenting.
Oh my word. CALL me next time. We love Lucy and mommy needs a break before one of moms other personalities comes out. I'm so sorry
Holy Moly! I hope Lucy has the will power to overcome Yucy! Too funny and sad at the same time! Thinking of you!
oh. my. gosh. Yucy needs to go away! Lucy needs to come back! At least she gave you a little break on Wednesday and Monday (if I am remembering correctly)... :D Totally good read though. Thanks for the laugh. At least I'm not the only one who is dealing with a 4 year old! :)
I think it is time to read Lucy the story of "Bad Mousey". That will scare the Yucy right out of her. Bad Yucy! Bad, Bad Yucy!!
Oh my goodness! Go away Yucy! Come back, sweet Lucy!
After reading this I think you deserve a big, long break. She is definitely coming over tomorrow. Now I understand why you said you lost it that Sunday. I probably would have lost it the first day:)
Holy cow. That is crazy! Ok, no more complaining. You've got it bad over there, sista. Hopefully Yucy goes away soon and you can get back to normal life. She's going to love reading this post in a few years and I think you will too. :)
