Last night over dinner she showed me the margarine and said, &#034;Daddy, that&#039;s an Indian on there.&#034;<\/p>\n<p\/>&#034;That&#039;s right,&#034; I told her, &#034;And you know what?  When you were little, you used to say that was Jesus.&#034;<\/p>\n<p\/><em>Pause.<\/em>  &#034;Yes Daddy, I know,&#034; she told me.  &#034;I said that because she wears her hair long like that, and that&#039;s how Jesus wears it.&#034;<\/p>\n<p\/>So, there you go.  If your child says something that you don&#039;t understand while they&#039;re still learning to talk, make a note of it and ask her a few years later when she can explain it better.  &#034;Remember when you said innoo da tikkamix?  What did you mean by that?&#034;<\/p>\n<p\/>\nActually &#034;innoo da tikkamix&#034; is an Elizabeth quote.  This appears to be the battle cry of something called a Wonderpet, from what Katherine tells me. My best guess is they&#039;re saying &#034;into the thick of it&#034; or something like that, but I can&#039;t seem to google anything to confirm that.  On the contrary, the catchphrases of the characters are clearly listed on <a href=&#034;http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wonder_Pets&#034;>wikipedia<\/a> and they&#039;re not even close.<\/p>\n<p\/>Either way, Elizabeth thinks that &#034;innoo da tikkamix&#034; is hysterical and will run around the house saying it.  Anybody know what it really means?<\/p>\n<p\/><em>I&#039;m reminded of the old Steven Wright bit:  &#034;I kept a diary when I was a baby.  Day one, still tired from the trip.  Day two, everyone talks to me like I&#039;m an idiot.&#034;  and, more relevant, &#034;Whenever I&#039;m the room with a baby I like to write down every noise they make, so when they grow up I can say, What did you mean by that?&#034;<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Katherine was just learning how to speak, she used to say that the Indian sitting on the Land-o-Lakes margarine was Jesus.
