My Little Ponies

Lucy's favorite toy right now is her my little ponies.  She takes and leaves them everywhere.  When she gets to have computer time she usually ops to watch My Little Pony episodes on Netflix.  For the last couple weeks she always asks to have her hair in a pony tail and since it's the easiest thing to do I oblige.  Today I decided to do braids.  As I was braiding her hair she brought her hand to her mouth and spit a big wad in it and then wiped it on the bottom of her foot.  I was completely grossed out and bewildered and asked her why would she do that.  She then did it again and said the my little ponies do it.  I told her she's not a pony but rather a sweet little girl and to not do it.  She got mad and said no I want to be a pony.  She then noticed her hair was not in a ponytail and wanted to rip it out.  The light bulb went on.  She wanted a pony tail to be like a pony.  That's fine but the spitting and wiping it on her hooves is not going to be happening.
