Lately, I've heard a few of my favorite childhood tunes going on in the house, such as...
"Bubble gum, bubble gum, in a dish, how many pieces do you wish?"
&
"Inky binky bonkie, daddy had a donkey, donkey died, daddy cried, inky, binkie, bonkie!"Tyson: "Lilah, is your hand bigger than your face?"
Lilah: ... tries it.
Tyson: Pushes his hand to hers, forcing Lilah to hit her own face.
Lilah: Shock, laughter, frustration, then tears.
Grrrrr.
Tyson: "Mom, spell I CUP"
Me: "Do you think I was born yesterday? That's been around a loooooong time."
Tyson: "Okay, fine, I'll do it. I-C-U-P." The concept is for it to sound like "I see you pee"
"Me Chinese, Me Play Joke, Me Put Pee-Pee in Your Coke!"
Today, Tyson came home with a "fortune teller". I LOVED these when I was growing up.
Tyson: "Mom, pick one!"
Mom: "Soccer"
Mom: "5"
Mom: "3"
Tyson: "You will live forever!"
Obviously, not everything I did as a kid was "appropriate" or worth repeating, but it's so neat seeing how it resurfaces generations later. I am waiting for him to come home with a "slam book". That was seriously my favorite childhood/school memory. Hehe. I might have just "dated" myself if slam books have never resurfaced. #ilovedbeingan80'schild
What are some of your "oldies, but goodies!"?
