Since Cordy had to endure the torture of the doctor’s office today, I decided to trade in my good mommy points for some lazy day TV time. Two shots has got to equal two hours of TV time, right? Besides, we both needed some time to recover from the trauma of the doctor’s office: on the couch, with some Motrin for each of us (her thigh, my head), a juice for her, a soda for me.
(What, you thought I was going to say an alcoholic beverage? Nah, I prefer to drink off-duty.)
At one point, one of the characters on Oobi (talking hands, for those who haven’t seen it) was dressed as a wolf, well, as dressed as a talking hand can be, and was menacing another dressed as Little Red Riding Hood.
Cordy, now in front of the TV and enraptured with the talking hands, put her hands on top of her head, and exclaimed, “Ooooh nooooo!”
The sound that followed was a thump as I fell off the couch in laughter. Cordy spun around to look at me, and started laughing as well, sensing it was the right thing to do. She then gave a repeat performance, which sent me into fits of giggles again.
Why is this so funny, you ask?
Remember Mr. Bill, the clay man with bad luck on SNL? Cordy can say “Oooh noooo!” in exactly the same voice. Yes, my child is channeling Mr. Bill, and I couldn’t be prouder. Or more amused.
I love Mr. Bill (and Oobi too)
Hilarious. And it is great that she has a schtick to amuse you with – I’m sure she gets a charge out of it.
Cordelia is a great name. Shakespeare?
Rhonda – Oobi creeps my husband out. I guess I’m just used to it. I think they’re cute. 🙂
Sue – Yep, it’s from Shakespeare. King Lear, to be exact. And I think the entertainment factor is part of the reason we have children. They do a great job of keeping us amused!
LOL Oobi is weird!
“And I think the entertainment factor is part of the reason we have children.”
Are you kidding? it’s mother natures way of ensuring our sanity!! And a lot more than just PART hehehehehe.
What good are our kids if we can’t laugh at them from time to time?
Mr. Bill cracks me up, I can only imagine how funny it must be to watch a toddler say “Ooh Nooo.”
I think I would’ve fallen off of the couch too! That is sooo cute/funny!
Leah has taken to saying everything is “caaayzeee” (crazy)…hilarious. Babies are so great.
King Lear is my favoritest Shakespeare play. I’ve wondered if your daughter is named for her! Better than Regan or Goneril, at any rate. 🙂 Much.
does she know Mr. Bill or is that just a coincidence?
Oh man I am so emailing this to my brother. We used to think Mr Bill was the funniest thing ever on this planet. Which means your son is second funniest. Yeah!
MrsFortune – I knew I liked you for a reason! King Lear is one of my favs, too. Cordy has never seen Mr. Bill – I’m not sure where she picked it up.
