Little Miss-Speak #10 – Clap For Egg And Here’s A Horsie

#10

Feeding time in the Rockstar household one day… Alternating between feeding herself and letting me do it (some days no one may touch Spoon, so decrees Her Highness)…

Miss: <successfully spooning a mouthful> Egg. ‘Ummeeee.

Me: Yes, egg is yummy…

Miss: <looking over at Rockstar on sofa> Ko-ko. Ko-ko.

Rockstar: <looking up mildly annoyed at being called away from his Youtube. In that instance the resemblance to Kings’ default face when you interrupt him on the laptop is uncanny> Hm? What…? What now?

Miss: (to Rockstar) Clap. Ko-ko, clap.

Rockstar: <still humorless> What am I clapping for?

Miss: Egg. ‘Ummeeee.

Me: Eggs deserve a clap for being ‘Ummeee I guess.

Rockstar rolls his eyes and claps obligingly. The Miss grins conspiratorially at me and claps enthusiastically… We got Ko-ko to clap in the middle of his Youtube, more power to us.

Ah, egg dinner, I knew you well…

Miss (hiding her Steiff pony under a pillow> Horsie gone. Where Horsie? <lifts pillow> There Horsie! Hor-seeeeeeee! <throws pony at Rockstar>

Rockstar: Mum. She just threw a “Horsie” at me. 

Me: Sounds like the words to a song.
