Morning Silliness

Ella was up before everyone today.  She came into my room and woke me up. We went out into the living room and she sat on my lap. 

This morning was odd in that she didn’t ask to turn on the TV. Instead she told me about her dreams from last night and said we should play a game.

I asked her what game we should play and she suggested the “Guess the Animal” game. I asked her how to play and she said that you have to whisper an animal sound in the other player’s ear and they have to guess what it is.

I told her that the game sounded fun and she told me I had to go first. So I whispered “Moo” in her ear. She immediately said, “That’s a cow! Now it is my turn.”

She whispers into my ear, “Quack-Meow.” So I said, “It sounds like there are two animals there, a duck and a cat.”

“Daddy! It’s a Duck-cow!” she informs me. I immediately start laughing.

Following her lead, I whisper, “Baa-buzz” to her and she guesses, “A sheep-bee! Now you got it, Daddy!”

What followed was utter silliness:

“Cock-a-doodle-Moo” (Rooster-Cow)

“Oink-Quack-Baa” (Pig-Duck-Sheep)

“Gobble-Neigh” (Turkey-Horse)

And my favorite, “Ribbit-Quack-A-Doodle-Boing” which left me scratching my head.

“What animal is that, Sissy?”

“Oh Daddy, haven’t you ever seen a Froggy-Duck-Rooster-Bunny before?!?!”

No, I have not … but I can’t help but wonder what one might look like!

For what it’s worth …. I did find a Duck-Cow
