...quoth the Bugga-bug.

You see, that's a phrase that came about a few months back, from dear hubbyman, when one of the children was throwing a pity party for themselves.  Statement was made with full pouty lip and whiny voice.  Try it yourself.  It's quite effective when spoken this way.    Now, seriously.  I wouldn't recommend making fun of a child in any circumstance...and this particular instance wasn't quite "making fun OF", but mirroring...and it had the appropriate response, utter and infectious laughter.  There was not a whine in the house when the "Schwee" came out.  What a blessing.

NOW, however, the 2 year old has adopted the phrase.  HOW can a momma keep her face straight when talking to a child about their poor attitude when the 2 year old walks into the room and notices the attitude in question and responds with "Schwee-Schwee-Schweeee, Alley!" and walks out.  Once again, hilarity ensues and lesson is over.

Now when did the 2-year old get to be the teacher?

Finding my laughter,
