Old Decrepited Bones

To start off this saga you must understand my daughter Roo Roo. She is almost three if you look back a couple of blogs ago you will remember we had a birthday party a couple of weekends ago for her, Wubbers and Rockstar. She received some "Fairy Princess Ballerina" dress up clothes, Roo Roo puts these outfits on and becomes a superhero. She has a pretty wide vocabulary, which includes, Disgusting, Horrid and now Decrepited. Here is the definition for you:
Decrepit
adjective
1.
worn and broken down by hard use; "a creaky shack"; "a decrepit bus...its seats held together with friction tape"; "a flea-bitten sofa"; "a run-down neighborhood"; "a woebegone old shack" [syn: creaky]
2.
lacking bodily or muscular strength or vitality; "a feeble old woman"; "her body looked sapless" .

Back to the story. When she is "Fairy Princess Ballerina", she can fly, dance and turn things into frogs with her magic wand. One day, my mother in law was upstairs in our living room hanging out with me and the kids, she got up after she had been sitting for a while and exclaimed, "My mean Old Decrepited Bones!". Roo Roo, very worried about Grandma, started looking around asking me "Where is the Mean Old Decrepited Bones Mommy, She hurt Grandma!!" We all lost it, laughing non stop. Roo Roo got very upset that we were letting Old Decrepited Bones get away. Old Decrepited Bones has now taken on a whole new life in our house hold. She is the arch enemy of "Fairy Princess Ballerina Roo Roo". My daughter spends a lot of her day dressing up and hunting Old Decrepited Bones (who lives in the basement) and turns her into a frog. Sometimes Old Decrepited Bones is the blame for every mess made and every bad thing that happens in the house. So some kids might have make believe friends my daughter has a make believe arch enemy.
