The Word of the Day is...Escargots

Kenny is at that lovely stage of " Why Mommy?" or " What's that mean?" And while I love to expand his little mind, there comes a point when the " Because I said so!" comes out. My parents told me that when I started to ask a bunch of questions they would begin to answer with " Because you're so pretty." That didn't last long. I may not be the brightest crayon in the box but I knew even at that age,  that THAT was a diversion tactic. So when we were reading a book tonight and came across the word "escargots" our book reading was put on hold and the conversation went something like this:

" Mommy...whats scargo?"

" It's 'escargots' baby, and it's French for snails."

"Oh...what's French?"

" It's a different language....like we speak English, and other people speak French."

" French for snails?"

" Oui oui!"

It was at this point we both fell over laughing. He was laughing at me and my fake French accent,and I was laughing at him while he tried to repeat it. We stayed on that couch laughing until my face hurt. We continued to make each other laugh with random outbursts of oui oui! even as teeth were being brushed.  I have never laughed so hard with him before. Boys are so much fun! And I think it was a pretty good way to end a Monday....oui? Least this guy agrees with me...

I would just like to make mention of the fact that I think French is one of the most beautiful languages. That being said, I have no idea what this guy is singing about...other then " yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,  yes"....
