Tate has a favorite story called "Frank was a Monster Who Wanted to Dance". We have read this story so many times that he knows it, and can recite it, word for word, with or without the book. When he uses the book, he knows exactly which words go with which pages. Subsequently, I know it and can recite it word for word, with or without the book. I decided I wanted to record him reading it so I could forever capture the way he says things like "one-eyed glance" (phoenetically - gla-yance) and "I might be a monster, but man can I da-yance". What I didn't know was that I would also capture the first time he busts out his new phrase. A phrase for which I have no idea where he learned it, and from the best I can decipher, means "Momma, stop helping me with the words"
What do you think it means?

Maybe he thinks you are some fantastic circus act that does not realize there is no circus around these parts and you should be quiet. That is absolutely hysterical, if only you could fast forward to ask him what is going on in that clever little brain. Wonderful memories !!!
