Oh, I Like'm

Just as a bit of history so you will appreciate the story you should know that Will's new thing is watching for vehicles while we're driving.  When he sees one of interest he calls out "Ooooh, I like him" but he runs all the words together so it sounds like "oo-I-like-m."  This phrase is sprinkled throughout our conversations in the car.  "Mommy, today Napoleon was "oo-I-like-m" barking and "oo-I-like-m" chasing his "oo-I-like-m" butt!"

Will and I drove to Covington yesterday to take Grandad back home.  On the way back home today, Will fell asleep while he still had a couple bites of his yogurt parfait left.  I didn't have any way to keep it cold while he slept so I threw it away, not wanting him to eat old yogurt when he woke up. 

Well, first thing upon waking from his nap he asked where his yogurt parfait was.  I told him it got old and I had to throw it out.  That ticked him off and he started crying one of those forced, loud, whiny cries.  I just ignored him but as I listened, I noticed the crying went something like this...

WWWWWAAAAAAA"oo-I-like-m"AAAAAAAAAAAAA"oo-I-like-m"AAAAAAAAAAAA"oo-I-like-m"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.  WWWWWWWWAAAAAAAA"oo-I-like-m" AAAAA"oo-I-like-m""oo-I-like-m"AAAAAA.

My child was punctuating his crying with "oo-I-like-m."  Obviously that was some very insincere crying!!
