Orcagons, Hollaback and Geeks
How much do imaginative little 5 year olds rule?
This is my question for you.
See? I can't stop blogging about him. So he came up to me last night and said "Mom, how do you spell orcagon?" No need to adjust your monitor, that's right, I said "orcagon". And he asked it in the exact same way a 5 year old would come up and ask you how to spell "cat". But no, we have -orcagon-. So I spelled it for him the way I thought it should be spelled (incidentally that would be the exact same way I am spelling it here). Then I proceeded to ask him what in the heck it meant. He said it was a word that meant everything. Not the same meaning as the *word* everthing, but rather orcagon is a word you can use to replace any noun. Okay, he didn't say it quite that way, but that is what he meant. Cool. Maybe I should enter it into the Wikipedia...??? Hmmm....
So then the real fun began. We started using it in sentences. I told him it was time to take an orcagon [bath], so he had better get his orcagons [clothes] off and jump in. Yes, you're right - jumping into the orcagon* does tend to get orcagon all over the floor (*no more help, you get the idea). Then after the orcagon it was time to get dry and put his orcagons on so that he could hop into orcagon and go to sleep.
Oh my, but we have fun!!
As for my other little person, she is turning into quite the pop diva. She was so excited to play a video online for me of Gwen Stefani's Hollaback Girl. I was actually kinda surprised about how cool the song was. It had hardly any music, but a right funky beat. And I am and will always be a sucker for the funk.
Anyway, back to the 9 year old and the pop diva thing....any way to stop this from happpening? Could we wait until she's at least 12 for the diva thing to happen, huh? I mean she seems to really like all of the local bands and other stuff I play, she loves her Linkin Park, but the pop stuff - man! you should hear her rattle off the lyrics. Turn it to 104 KRBE and watch out!!
Please feel free to post your suggstions in the Comments area.
