We like to be silly. Being silly keeps away The Crazy. Or, well... maybe it encourages it. I'm not sure, but it works.
While waiting for supper to finish cooking, I somehow got started singing a silly song to Jonah. You know the one; where you take a person's name and then change it like this: Jonah, Jonah bo bonah, banana fanana fo fonah, mo me mi mo monah, Jonah! Of course, he thought this was hilarious, and started suggesting other things.
Daddy! Daddy, daddy, bo baddy, banana fanana fo faddy, mo me mi mo maddy, Daddy!
Mommy! Mommy, mommy, bo bommy, banana fanna...
Um... Chicken! Chicken, chicken, bo bicken...
Rabbit! Rabbit, rabbit, bo babbit...
And on and on, naming more animals. (Word to the wise. Do not try this with "duck". It... just doesn't quite work.)
Cow!
Walrus!
Narwhal!
Huh... whaaaaa?
Elephant seal!
Umbrella bird!
Aiee. I'm raising a nerd.
