Good Five

A few weeks ago Avery added yet another step to our bedtime routine.  She pulled out her little pink stool and asked us to pay attention.  She was pretending to be her teacher at school and we were her pupils.  She started to sing "Good morning everybody, how are you?" and then told us to hold up our hands like we were giving the air 5 and say back to her "good five".  We would sing this back and forth.  I could tell from her face that it wasn't exactly right, I mean what does 'good five' mean?  But she insisted this was the proper response.

Jon recently picked Avery up a little early from school and we were able to ask the daytime teacher how the song actually goes.  "Good morning everybody, how are you?"   "Just fine."  Oh, of course, that makes much better sense.  That night we tried to sing it the "right" way and Avery made us say "good five".  And she thinks it's really funny too.
Other funny words of note are stefacope for stethoscope.  Quincy is Renty and don't try to correct that one either.  Quincy answers to either name now.  And oatmeal is "oh-pee-moe".  Spot is "fpot" and twinkle is "fwinkle", as in "fwinkle fwinkle little stah".
