"What does a mouse say?"
I suppose that's a normal question for a toddler and I've hear it and the
same question for many other animals a lot. And, I (almost) always do my best
to approximate the noise of whatever creature is at question, no matter how
many times in a row it comes.. But tonight at dinner, Harry answered his own
question in the most surprising way.
He said, "sip yock chewp wit pew mot, like that." or some similarly
made up gibberish that sounded as if Harry were making fun of some ethnicity.
"What does the bear say?" he asked, then immediately answered in
something that sounded like faux-Russian.
"What does the horse say?" and Harry answered that, too. I couldn't
make out the dialect.
