Chickadee: Yep, C. gave me her spork.
Me: SPORK! That’s a fun word to say. SPORK SPORK SPORK!
Chickadee: Mama. Stop it.
Me: SPORK!
Monkey: What’s a spork?
Me: SPORK!
Chickadee: It’s what comes with hot lunch.
Me: SPOOOOOOORK!
Chickadee: It’s like a spoon, Monkey, but with—
Monkey: Oh! I know! It’s like a spoon with PRICKS!
