The sun is streaming in through the windows on a lovely, Spring-like morning.
Chicken: Mom! A deer! Baby deer!
Me: Oh look, two deer!
We all rush to the window to look at the deer across the street.
Edee: Dey are not baby deer....dat one looks like a mommy deer. Dey are playeen chase!!
Me: Well look at that....chase....they look twitterpated to me.
Edee: What does dat mean?
Me: It means that they are excited for Spring.
Edee: OOOoh.
We watch the deer frolic for a few more moments until they dart into the words.
Never-mind that in two days it's the first official day of Spring (and that snow is on the forecast, humph). The deer are twitterpated....it's officially Spring now!!
Also never-mind that twitterpated might be an antiquated term now--the younger generation would probably assume it has something to do with Twitter. I hope we haven't become that uncultured.
Oh noodles.
"Edee" and "Chicken" are nicknames for my two little rascals. The names originated from how my daughter would pronounce both her own and little brother's name when she first started talking. They've stuck. Chicken may live to regret that someday....
