Miss Speak #67 – Oops She Did It Again

#67

The Miss has made it her current developmental stage goal to keep Rockstar from doing serious school work…..

Rockstar traditionally does schoolwork in arguably any location of his choosing within our apartment. (We don’t insist he sit perfectly still in a perfectly quiet desk-and-chair setting because I figured he should also practice being able to concentrate with lotsa background noise and movement around him – so the two rules are 1) he picks a spot with enough light so as not to ruin his eyesight, and 2) he completes his tasks in the time given.)

For company, he’s often in the living room where a tv or laptop is blaring, and – yes, the Miss is messing with him.

Here are a few gems that succeeded in distracting Rockstar. Y’know, because using him for target practice with her various soft toys didn’t work after he learned to sit out of her throwing range and we didn’t return the toys :D:

Miss: Ko-ko. Look! Arm wrestle in the air-rr-rr! <clasps hands together and waves them about vigorously above her head>

Miss: Ko-ko. Look! A moving teacup! <puts vibrating toy hamster under tea cup. Cup starts to move about Exorcist-style around her feeding tabletop>

Miss: Mummy. Can I have the guitar? 

(I hand her our decorative traditional ukulele souvenir from Okinawa.)

Miss: Ko-ko. Look. I’m playing a song! <drops ukulele><Huge Crash><One piece of the ukulele comes off> Oops. Where’d it go? <theatrically> Now. What will we do?
