The Power of the Tongue


At the Wicker household, we've been working on how we use our tongues (Mommy included). So I've been talking to the kids about tone, reacting when angry, etc. As a result, we've had a few poignant moments and a few humorous ones. Andrew in particular has a few Andrewisms that have made me laugh.


Andrewism #1 (as an outlet for his anger and frustration that DOESN'T include crying, yelling, screaming, etc.):

"Oh, rats" (said with passion and usually accompanied by a two-handed thigh slap. Of course, his "r's" are questionable so it usually sounds like "oh, wats!" for further comic effect.) For example:

Mom: Andrew, is it is time to go.

Drew: Oh, rats!


Mom: Pick up your toys, please.

Drew: Oh, rats!


Andrewism #2:

Anika was singing a song about our tongues "Oh, be careful little tongue what you say. . .". She was sharing with Andrew that there are lots of other verses. "Yeah", says Andrew, "I know one."


"Oh, be careful little tongue what you lick. . ."
