It's funny to me how expressions that your kids use just wind themselves into your everyday vocabulary until they just become the accepted way of saying things and you have to recall what the correct term is to call things when talking with someone outside of your own family. For example, in our household we don't eat American cheese; we eat "regly cheese". "Regly cheese" is separate and distinct from cheddar cheese which is special, thus it is "regly". When we have steak or chicken, Lainey is quick to point out that she doesn't like the "little ketchup" which to outsiders would look like a bottle of Heinz 57. We eat cinnamon rolls every Saturday the Lord sends unless it's a birthday or a holiday in which case we have holiday danish (or holidanish if you're Sarah Grace). Well, on Cinnamon Roll Saturday as it's known around these parts, the girls get to drink chuhrocolate milk. Anytime we're out and about and pass those famous golden arches, Sarah Grace says, "It's MacacDonald's!" I really try not to let the girls watch too much TV, but one show we do like to watch together is Little House on the Prairie. Lainey has always called it "Prouse on the Hairie" and now Sarah Grace does as well. I said to Laine a few weeks ago while we were watching, "You know when I was your age, I used to call this show 'Little House on the Cherry'." She laughed and said, "Yeah, but now you know it's Prouse on the Hairie, right?" Her attitude was like, "Come on Mom! You're so silly. I'm glad I'm here to make sure you get things right now." So for now, I guess we'll keep watching Prouse on the Hairie and eating regly cheese!
