Lillian's new favourite thing on the first day of their relationship.
After months of looking sneaky, making a fast grab and tearing down the hall with Morgen's water bottle in her hands, Lillian has finally received one of her very own.

It was love at first sight in the store - no second guesses, she knew exactly which one she wanted, and she cuddled it the way some kids cuddle teddy bears. She screamed when it had to be scanned so I could buy it. And then she laughed when I gave it back to her.
And then she screamed when I took it away so I could wash it. And laughed when I gave it back to her.
It has mostly survived her love. Within one week, the bottle was dented, scratched, and the orange cap was broken off, leaving only the twisty-sippy spout for her to play with.
Morgen's bottle says "Hydration is fun" and features elephants and bluebirds. She doesn't love it, but she knows it is hers. It still looks new, except around the spout where she has chewed on it ever so slightly. Lillian's bottle is covered in large-eyed, innocent-looking woodland creatures, and it has more war wounds than can be found on vessels five times its age.
I think I'll wait a year or so before buying a replacement top.

So Lillian is a rough and tumble type of gal. That's my type of gal. It's amazing how different and similar siblings can be.
As far a the turkey goes, I think you should lure in some new unsuspecting American grad students so you can lay the turkey on them or should I say bestow the turkey to them. Dave and Angela would be an obivious pick (sorry Dave and Angela). I also like the idea of just lighting him and melting him away!
