We were outside by the grapevine-covered trellis in our backyard.
Chicken: Mom, when are the blueberries going to grow on our grapevine?
Me: Blueberries?
Chicken: Yeah.
Me: Blueberries, Chicken? On the grapevine?
Chicken: Yeah, when are dey going to grow?
Me: Chicken, is this a grapevine?
Chicken: Yeah Mom, I know dat, When are the blueberries coming on it?
Then today.
Me: What do you want for breakfast Chicken? Toast with honey?
Chicken: Yeah toast and honey but wit NO peel.
Me: You mean crust?
Chicken: Yeah...but I like to call it a peel. No peel, please.
Me: Alright silly boy.... (He's never called it a peel before).
Silly boy he is. Love him!
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....
