BUNKER-LAND again!
Olivia had to use the word "epidemic" in a sentence as one of her vocabulary words this past week (just before the whole Swine Flu crisis hit the news full force). I reminded her that there was an example provided in a recent bible lesson.
"Liv, do you recall the disease that affected many people? The one where they were required to live outside the city gates and when people were approaching them, they had to yell, 'I'm unclean! I'm unclean!'"
A bewildered look settled on her face for just a moment, then...
"Oh, yes. I remember! Cheetah!"
An even more bewildered look settled on my own face as I again found myself "going there", stepping into the hilarious world of my Bunker girl to see what was spinning that pretty little head of hers. Her Bunkerisms often confuse me but always make me giggle.
"Liv. Liv!
What.
In.
Thee.
World.
Is.
CHEETAH?"
Almost instantly, a big ol' cheesy, "We've been here before in BunkerLand and you know we'll be here again," smile spread across her face as she clarified.
"Sorry, Mom," with a giggle, "I meant Leopard-sy!"
Oy vey!

LOL! I'm glad Olivia keeps you smiling during your school day.
Oh that is TOOOOO funny! Don't you just love how they pronounce big words???
Funny! She associates the disease with leopard to remember. Cool! Cheetah and leopard look so alike.
I confuse with the two too... I have nothing to associate one from the other... maybe Liv can help me too.
PS, Rog just used the phrase Oy Vey to talk about a traffic jam. You just don't hear much oy vey these days, so you'll understand why I had to comment!
Ok, I got what she was thinking right away! What does that say about me! Funny girl :)
'I again found myself "going there", stepping into the hilarious world of my Bunker girl to see what was spinning that pretty little head of hers.' - ((hugs)) to you for always going in!
