"Mom?"
"What Ellerie?"
"Ethan won't wake up."
"He won't?" I smiled. That boy loved to sleep, just like me. "What have you tried?"
"Well, I went in his room and yelled, 'Chicken noodle doo!' RIGHT IN HIS FACE . . . but he wouldn't wake up."
Chicken noodle doo?
What?????
I thought about this for a second, and then translated, "Ellerie. . . do you mean 'Cock a Doodle Doo'?"
And without missing a beat Ellerie responded, "THAT'S WHAT I SAID!" It dripped with her 3 year old exasperation. Then for emphasis she repeated, "Chicken. . .noodle. . . doo!"
Incidentally, does anyone else out there feel like they are living with Data from The Goonies. . .
Or is it just me???

LOL! Priceless. And adorable!
ReplyDeleteThat is too cute. Sounds like me as a child (and sometimes as an adult).
ReplyDeleteThere is some pop song from the 90's out there that has the line, "...from AM to PM..." and for the longest time I always thought it said, "From A and to B and..." and couldn't understand why a pop singer was singing about linear equations and letters.
I usually ask my five year old to go wake up her three year old brother from his nap. I have to add: "do it with love" so she does not yell at him, throw water at him, or some other not-so-fun-way to wake up. The other day she said: "mami, he won't wake up with love. Can I try yelling at him now?" I made me smile.
ReplyDeleteKids say the funniest things...
I have to say, I prefer "Chicken noodle doo"...but now I'm craving some chicken noodle doo...Very cute! I like little kids!
ReplyDeleteWe actually have a boy on our street that my husband calls "Data." I love the things he says - they crack me up . . . She is too cute!
ReplyDeleteBwahaha!!! Sounds like your kids keep you entertained.

"THAT'S WHAT I SAID!!!"
