Microbial Christmas Carol

OK, I’m guilty of another “See how cute my kid is” thread. But I had to share this one.
MilliCal, our five-year-old, was singing this to the tune od “Jingle Bells”:

Single Cells,
Single Cells,
Single all the Way…

I want to know who’s writing her material.

Well, at least she’s not doing this:

Looks like the Genius Tree has rooted herself in the Meacham household. :slight_smile:

Okay, I REALLY want to know who’s writing MilliCal’s material – I can’t believe she’s coming up with this on her own.

Tonight’s installment, which I swear is true, and as close as I can recall it, with no embellishment:

MilliCal: (holding out her Barbie portable telephone) Daddy, talk to my imaginary friend!

CalMeacham: Okay. What’s her name?

MC: She doesn’t have a name, Daddy. She’s imaginary!

CM: Oh. (Takes phone, hold imaginary one-sided conversation with imaginary friend. Gives phone back to daughter.)

(Daughter takes phone back, continues conversation. CM goes back to getting garbage together for tomorrow’s pickup.)

MC: (Offended tone) Daddy!

CM: What is it?

MC: My imaginary friend’s friends are telling her that I don’t exist!

Five years old. How does she come up with this stuff?

Hee hee - that has to be the cutest thing I’ve read for a while. Your little lass is a Secret Comedy Genius. Some children just are. I don’t know why.

DJ, 12 months old… not mine, but I have been helping raising him like a father. (I hope).

does he think of me as a father?

NO! he thinks I’m his baby!

sometimes when he gets a bottle he trys to make me drink it. it started out with him just running over to me and mashing it in my face, which is basicly what he does with everything, but it became apparent that he is trying to feed me now that he has added the “say ahhhhh” face to it. he puts the bottle on my mouth and looks at me and opens his mouth and says “ahhhhh” like his mother does to him.

ha!

Wow, that’s very impressive for a five-year-old. You got a smart one there, Cal!
