Sunday Funnies Dictionary

Dancing Monkey- aka Monkey- Desitin.

One day Tiger picked up an almost empty tube of Desitin and said, "Look Mom, its a dancing monkey." He then danced the tube on the top of the counter as if it really was a dancing monkey. After that I would ask him to bring me the tube and he would only understand if I asked for the "monkey." So now it is called "monkey" and is universally understood in this house to mean Desitin.

I guess I will have to call hooligan-type behavior "being a gibbon" or "being a lemur." "Monkey" is out.

Here is the next installment of The Sunday Funnies Dictionary.

Mitigate:  To change the baby's diaper.  Usually after the baby has pooped.  E.G.: we are at a nice resturaunt with our friends and Blanket smells bad.  I say, "I need to go mitigate," and grab the baby and diaper bag.

The fan in our bedroom has 3 speeds:  Token, On, and Turbo.  I hate having the fan on when I go to sleep, and B.A.R. needs it 8 months of the year.  He wants Turbo, I want off.  I usually settle for Token (my token of compromise).  B.A.R. says that it isn't really on until On, and that Turbo is the only thing that really moves a lot of air.  That may be, but any amount of air movement is too much for me.

This is the first edition of the Sunday Funnies Dictionary.  This is an introduction to the words we use around here.  Think of it as a class in our family vernacular.

Reruns: Leftovers.  Leftovers makes it sound like you don't want them anymore.  Reruns are almost as good as when they were new (especially if you missed it the first time).  

Some Some: Dinner (the food, specifically). Tiger used to say "some!" when he wanted some of your food.  So we asked, "Do you want some some?"

Plug: Pacifier.

Boom Boom: Thunder.  From Mr. Brown Can Moo
