Vicky's Dictionary

Now that I'm a mom, I understand why people always thought their children were so funny. I was one of those people that thought children were annoyances, dirty all the time, and schedule restrictions. Kids can still be all of the above, BUT, I find mine one of the best sources of amusement. She is forever making me laugh with her actions and words. Her latest trick is her expanding vocabulary. I thought I'd share with you the Dictionary according to Vicky:

Dog-All animals on four legs regardless of animal species. Popular animals to be included with dog species are deer, goats, cows and horses.

Duck-All animals that fly and have wings and feathers. It does not matter if it is a bird that is adverse to water, it is still a duck.

Joose (Juice)-Any liquid that is connsumable by humans regardless of appropriateness of liquid for children, i.e. coffee and alchohol are also "joose".

Pooh (Winne the Pooh)-All stuffed animals can be classified as either "Pooh" or "Beer" (see below).

Beer (Bear)-All stuffed animals can be classified as either "Beer" or "Pooh" (see above).

Peeaz (Please)-The majic word that secures any desired item into your possession. Simply point your hand in the direction and say "peeaz".

Ca-ca (Ca-Ca)-Anything found on the floor that is possibly not for children's play. Typical items include fuzz, dog hair, minute pieces of dust impossble to be viewed by human eyes, dog toys, etc.

Poon (Spoon)-(This is not a dirty word) Any food delivery device regardless of composition. Forks, serving spoons, chopsticks and knives are all "poons".

Car-ker (Cracker)-Any food item that is held and possibly crunchy. Popular items that are "car-kers" are onion rings, pizza crust, bread, toast, chips and actual crackers.

Vroom-vroom-Any motorized vehicle real or play. While driving in the car and passing farm equipment, boats, motorcyles or other cars, Vicky will announce "vroom-vroom".

Chi-Chi (Chin-Chin)-Every meal time is a celebration with Vicky. Grandma taught her to toast and clink her sippy cup with somebody's drink and say "chin-chin". Vicky is known to say "chi-chi" with her glass held out several dozen times per meal. She finds it compelety inappropriate to drink without toasting. Thank you grandma.
