The Quiet One

Trading insults with the child

This is a game we play in the car: “You are a silly….” We both aim for nonsense things like “squirrel toenails” or something. It’s basically a fun vocabulary exercise.

Anyway, every once in a while, Cici pulls a masterful stroke. We had one today:

“You are a silly poo poo head… with a pink pee pee crown.”

That one ended the game. I think it was the fact that the crown was pink that really got to me.
