Na, na, na, na, na
Cut and paste
from this little
boxy thing below
At bedtime my children exchange squawlks from their different rooms. My daughter prances back into their room dressed from head to foot in blue, for no apparent reason. Her youngest brother ignores everything as he reads his Garfield comic books, as the other two set to.
“Why you are blue now?”
“No reason. Night shortie.”
“Why you are call me shortie?”
“Coz you’re short, shorter than me.”
“Oright, night tallie.”
“Thanks.”
“You like tallie?”
“Sure. You’re gonna have to try a lot harder in the insult department shortie.”
“Oright. Night bluey.”
“Thanks.”
“You like bluey?”
“Sure. Why wouldn’t I?’
“Oright then. Night butt head!”
He, who has not been listening, erupts from his bed, casts Garfield aside and launches into siren mode, “alert, alert, alert, inappropriate speech pattern, inappropriate speech pattern, inappropriate speech pattern!”
No doubt, another restful and blissful night awaits.

“alert, alert, alert, inappropriate speech pattern, inappropriate speech pattern, inappropriate speech pattern!”
It probably never made it to your side of the pond, but I am reminded of the robot on the old American TV show >”Lost in Space”, saying, “Danger, Will Robinson”.

Methinks your daughter has learned a lot from you.
I recognize “Danger, Will Robinson” – in fact, I have the audio clip in my files, waiting for the perfect opportunity to use it. hehe.
I was reminded of the Waltons, where the end of the show often depicted each of the children shouting out to each other, usually the last one, “Goodnight, John Boy!”

Well, she *said* to try harder! LOL.
They are getting extraordinarily vocal, I’d say.

And here you thought he wasn’t listening when obviously he was tuned in all along! It’s good to have the Language Police around from time to time!

can you please send your little siren to my house? perhaps if someone other than me is pointing out inappropriate speech patterns it might be heeded.
