I'm not talking about the state of the
living room with all the toys strewn over the place or the amount of
food splattered around my daughter's high chair.
I'm talking about my daughter's latest
trick to mimic animal noises.
Very steadily my daughter has been
building up her animal noise repertoire to the point that now I can
say sheep and she will reply 'merrrr' or doggie and she goes 'oof,
oof'.
She also knows cow 'mooo' and the word
horse is always greeted with a 'click, click' of her tongue, to
indicate its hooves of course.
She will often make these sounds just
by seeing a picture of one of these animals in a book, while if she
hears a sheep baaing through the open window – we have fields next
door to our house – she will 'merrr' back.
My daughter is also good at making
these sounds at completely inappropriate moments like when we get out
of the car she will shout 'merrr' at the top of her voice or call out
'oof, oof' at a passer-by on the street. Luckily they almost always
have a dog with them at the time.
She knows that 'merr' is a funny noise
to make because you can hear the edge of hilarity to her voice as she
says it. She'll repeat it over and over again knowing she'll get a
laugh, just like a naughty school boy sat at the back of the class.
She has even decided to adapt my name
to incorporate this sound. Rarely am I now 'mama' but 'merr merr'.
I'm not so keen on this latest development. I don't really want to be
referred to as a sheep but my daughter, ever the comedian, finds it
hilarious.
