Catch Phrase


Natalie (9 years old): This is Kaylee's favorite thing.
Andrew (5 years old): Oatmeal!
Natalie: Noooo! This is Kaylee's favorite animal.
Andrew: (pause and then exclaims:) Baby cheetah!!
Natalie: Well, this is what baby cheetah's grow up to be.
Andrew: (so excited) Parents!
Auntie Cheri: (laughing - how cute!)
Natalie: (giving clues now) Baby boy cheetah's grow up to be lion's and baby girl cheetah's grow up to be . . .
Andrew: Tigers!
Auntie Cheri: (huh? at least they're on the same thinking level)
Natalie: Right. Okay, this word is a place and it's 2 words. First word is Tiger and second word is what trees are.
Andrew: Bark!
Natalie: We burn it in the camp fire.
Andrew: Wood!
Natalie: Right. Tiger Woods
Auntie Cheri: Uhhhh, Tiger Woods is not a place, he's a person . . . a famous golfer.
Natalie: (Pause) Whatever.
That was definitely an entertaining game - the kids played it in the car driving from one park to another on Orcas Island - we should have played it more! LoL

I've told this story over and over to anyone who will listen. It's even more funny when someone tells it to you in person (especially if the person hearing the story knows silly Nat & silly Andrew) LOL
