Entertaining Themselves In The Car

Tonight in the car, the kids were entertaining themselves with silly sayings and things of that sort. I believe Tim called Becky a hob-knocker, which apparently came from one of those pre-teen kids shows on Nickelodeon or something. At any rate, it sounded funny to me and I almost peed my pants. Becky didn't find it quite as funny.

One other thing they were doing was daring each other to say certain words that may or may not sound like something else. For example:

Becky: Tim, say European really slow.
Tim: Eu-r0-pe-an.....snickering.....BECKY!

Becky: Say Idaho really slow.
Tim: Nooo! more snickering....
Becky: Id-a-ho....get it? even more snickering

Me: Say I then spell cup.
Becky: I know that one. You're supposed to say "pretty colors" afterward. I c-u-p pretty colors.

Uproarious laughter from the backseat.

Mike: spell ass backward.
Becky: SSA?

crickets in the backseat.

Mike: I just wanted to fit in....sulking in the driver's seat.
