Grandma Gail's Stuck

These past two weekends, Kendall, the kids and i have made trips to Denver, Colorado to see his family and enjoy some time there before his one brother and family have to head back to Arizona. Layla seems to have quite the imagination, and after Gail left on Friday night she really missed her, so here is a conversation i had with her out of the blue about a little 3 foot tall light house in the back yard.

Layla grabs my hand and drags me to the little lighthouse"Mommy! Mommy! Come eeer!"
Me: "ok sweetie what is it?"
Layla: Grandma Gail...Grandma Gail in dare!"
I look at Layla intently point at the lighthouse: "What? Grandma Gail went home Layla...You said byebye last night."
She looks at the lighthouse again: "No, Grandma Gail in dare. She tuck in dare!"
Me: Grandma Gail is stuck in there? In the lighthouse?"
Layla: "Yes Mommy, she tuck in there. Want her out."
Me: " Layla, Grandma Gail went home how would she have gotten in the light house?"
Layla: "Right dare..."(points to the little fake door)
Me: "She went through the door?"
Layla: Mommy...Grandma Gail tuck in dare, tuck in ligh house...door tuck!"

It went on like that for a wile, she insisting her Grandma was in there...talking to everybody nobody had told her that so it was all out of her own imagination. Again, this past weekend, a week later, she was still persistent that her Grandma Gail was in the light house.
Cousins: Aidan (2), Ashlyn (6), Layla (2), Emily (4)
