Conversation with Tyler

I used to pick Gavin up on my way to meet Tyler at the bus stop but since my hours have gotten longer with my shorter drive, I don't have time and so now I have about 10 minutes to debrief on Tyler's day.   

Me: What did you do today at school that was fun?
Tyler: I got to wear my snow boots in P.E. and didn't get in trouble for not wearing tennis shoes!
Me: Sweet!  What did you do in P.E.
Tyler: Well first we played Mousetrap...
Me: Again?  What else did you do?
Tyler: We learned a new dance!
Me: What was it called?
Tyler: (thinking for a minute... trying to remember) The "Chicken Pox Dance"
Me: I have never heard of that one!  How did it go?
Tyler then proceeded to demonstrate the "Chicken Dance" ~ that people do at weddings and various other get togethers...

He was so excited when I finally figured out what the he!! he was talking about so I could dance along with him. :)

The Chicken Pox Dance? Oh now that's cute. I think he may be onto something.

I just LOVE kid-isms.

Chicken Pox dance is soooo cute! Does he work in a little itch and scratch to the routine too? =)

No reason the child needed tennies for the Chicken Pox Dance... in fact, my guess it's better with snow boots! ;-)

I love it!

When our daughter was six, kids still got chicken pox. (Do they still get it, or is there a vaccine now?) Her friend, Beth Ann, came over.

Beth Ann: "Me and my brother had chicken pops."

Me: "You mean chicken pox."

Beth Ann: "Yeah, chicken pops. Anyway---"
