For years at Christmas one of our favorite Christmas carols was 'God rest ye, Gerry Mendelbaum'. I never thought to ask, I didn't know where it came from, it was just a long-standing family inside joke.
Finally, a couple of Christmases ago I asked my Mum just where that had originated. She laughed and said 'You girls'. Apparently, that's what the three of us sang when we were little whenever that particular Christmas song was sung, never realizing we had it all wrong.
Same age bracket, different offender.
SweetBabyGirl is about four years old and we're eating dinner at a pizza place one night when someone orders pie a la mode for dessert. Delicious pie with a big old scoop of ice cream melting down the top of it arrives. Eyes as big as saucers, fork in hand, digging in, BabyGirl is in heaven.
Fast forward a couple of months and we are back at the same restaurant. Dinner is finished, the waitress is back to ask if anyone would like dessert and SweetBabyGirl (enunciating very clearly) states "I would like pie and a load, please".
Pie and a load it has remained.
She is so delightful.
Hey, its a piece of pie, and a load of ice cream. You can't deny that logic.
ReplyDeleteNope. Sometimes a childs logic is the way things should be labeled!
ReplyDeleteI seem to remember a few of those coming out of your mouth too, Chickie. Something like 'wimper-wipers' and 'yeedl' (yield).
