e-i-e-i … hop hop!


eieioIn the middle of a rousing round of “Old MacDonald” tonight, Miles surprised us with a joke, substituting the “O” in “e-i-e-i-o” with… whatever other words from his wee vocabulary he could think of. Legend: “Ucky” = pacifier, derived from “Nucky,” which means Nuk. “Hop hop” is multi-purpose noun standing in for all hopping creatures (frog, cricket, kangaroo, and, most frequently, bunny). By extension, it also means carrot. “Poo poo” means poo-poo, which derives from “poo-poo.” So we may well have caught his first verbal joke on video (kind of poor lighting conditions though). A regular Don Rickles, this one.

    Ok, so I haven’t checked out your blog in a month of Sundays, but I figured it was time for a trip over to see what was up. And I’ve got to say, Miles is cute as a button. That hair!
