Jiggity Jiggity Wah Wah
One day we were watching HBO's Crashbox. The segment "Riddlesnake" came on, and DB said, "That's strange, they used to call this section 'Wilsey Wilsey Oooh Ahh.'"
"Really," I wondered, "because 'Riddlesnake' is the perfect name, it's a snake who tells riddles."
He insisted, and I know how detailed his memory is, so I chalked it up to something unknown and didn't argue.
Other days, every time the segment would be on, I'd tease him a bit: "What did you say this is called?" and, since I have no memory cells left, I'd guess, "Jiggity, jiggity, wah wah?" And we'd laugh and leave it at that.
A few weeks later, DB suddenly called me, "Mom, Mom, come quick!" When I entered the room, Riddlesnake was on. "Rewind to the part before!" said DB.
To my surprise and delight, the little robots who introduce each segment said the name "Riddlesnake" so quickly that, sure enough, it sounded just like "Wilsey, Wilsey." And afterward, they said, "Oooh, ahh!"
That must have been the intro the first time he saw it.
How funny is that!

The Story of the Arfing Bunny
Yesterday after school we spent a few minutes at the farm museum. As we approached the bunny hutches, a brown bunny in the first hutch made a noise like this: "Arf-arf-arf."
We didn't know if he was sneezing or talking!
I think he was saying hello.
Then the biggest bunny in the next hutch was sniff, sniff, sniffing toward us as if to say, "Who is that over there?"

Highlights of the Past Week
Tuesday: Going out for dinner at Mardi Gras for Mardi Gras, with Mommy. Several Fisher Price Little People came with us, and their tractor. They danced, they talked, we all had a good time. On the way home, since we walked, we enjoyed stopping at the pet store to look at the "various hamsters" and the fish (no feeders like Skinny), and at Aldo shoes. Guess what, there was a pair on sale just like the ones Mommy had on!
Oh! And a tooth came out at the restaurant ... and disappeared! So, DB's second tooth is out. Congratulations! He was very afraid the Tooth Fairy would not come since he had no tooth to leave.
Wed am, 6:34: "The Tooth Fairy left me three dollars! [Pause] Can I watch TV?"
Thursday: Wrote Mommy's birthday card very nicely, handed her the flowers nicely, AND offered her one of the Oreos.
Friday: Guessing Chinese dwarf hamsters in Pictionary; also, interacted very well with Mom and Dad's friends John and Regan, ate goat cheese, rosemary crackers, and handled the disappointment of the disappearing cats very well. Best question: "What's the difference between pussy cats and kitties?"
Saturday: The playground near Stop & Shop playground finally reopens, and it's great! It was in the high 30's in temperature but we must have been there 2 hours.
Last week, week off from school, we went to 3 museums: Hall of Science, Intrepid Sea-Air-Space, and The Museum of the Moving Image. We don't usually get that much done ina week, I was proud of us.

Friends Reading
Happy Bring a Book to Bed Day!
DB is pretending to read one our regular bedtime books, Farmer Boy by Laura Ingalls Wilder. Though after I took this photo he wanted me to read him Little House in the Big Woods instead.
On his left is Papa Schmuzzy and to the right, Huskily Husky.

The Story of the Incoming Rat
Once upon a time a little boy and his mom were waiting for a subway train.
They looked down the track to see if they could see the train coming.
The mom said, "I see something coming, but we should not get on it.
It is not the E train.
It is a rat. And there is no 'E' in rat."
The end.
True story.
