Pea likes Medusa. I’m not sure how she originally learned about her, but she knows she’s a mythical creature with snakes for hair and turns people into stone. Sometimes we play Medusa, which involves Pea looking at me, and then I have to pretend to be a statue. Recently we saw an exorbitantly overpriced Medusa head objet d’art and if I had disposable income, I would have bought it in a heartbeat (even though it was ugly and where would we put it?).

Because how often do you get to say your kid is in a Medusa phase?
