Now, let me start off by saying, I don't watch the TV show Family Guy. I have never even seen an episode, but in my opinion, from the commercials, it looks, well...stupid (that's just my opinion though, please don't send me angry e-mails!). BUT, I do remember a commercial that aired quite often for awhile and thought it was actually comical. Here's the commercial I'm talking about:
Have you ever found yourself in that situation? Well, I have a lot recently. It is one of the few words my daughter knows how to say and for whatever reason, she finds great joy in repeating it over and over again sometimes. There are days when I am awaken in the morning to the sounds of her doing this (or she does this after waking from a nap). This makes perfect sense to me, she obviously wants me to come get her from her crib, so she calls for me. But other times, she does it just to do it, just to see if I will respond, just because she likes the attention. It's funny how the same behavior can be so unbelievably cute some of the time and so unbelievably annoying other times, depending on the situation at hand.
Just like Stewie, the little boy in the video, she also varies how she says mama exactly. Today at lunch, this went on for a good five minutes. Here is part of how the conversation went:
"MAma" (the capitals letters is where she is placing the emphasis when she says the word)
"What?"
"MAma"
"What?"
"MAma"
"What?"
"MAma"
"What?"
"maMA"
"What?"
"maMA"
"What?"
"maMA"
"What?"
"ma-MA-ma"
"ma-MA-ma"
"mamamamamama"
"ma-MA-mi"
"ma-MA-mi"
"maMI, maMI, maMI"
You get the point right? And she doesn't actually want anything. She just wants to say mama. Annoyingly cute, the epitome of an oxymoron. I'm sure, it's moments like these, the annoyingly cute ones, that I will miss the most once they are gone...
Sincerely,
The (slightly annoyed) Mom
