The elephant says “Bbbbbbrrr!”, the giraffe says . . . ?
Filed under: 2 years, Toddler, Speech
Okay, I've got a burningly important question for all you parents out there. You know how the cow says "moo", the sheep says "baa", the lion says "rarrrr!", the doggie says "woof", and so on? Well then, what, for the love of GOD, does the giraffe say?
No, really, I'd love to know if this has come up in your household ("What giraffe say, Mommy?") and if so, what answer you gave.
While Riley first asked me, I made up a weird sound -- kind of a gurgling "Eeee" noise -- which my husband scoffed at, declaring that I sounded like a dying gerbil. "Riley, giraffes do this," he said, and stretched out his neck as long as he could while making a slow, dramatic chewing noise, as if he were working over a fist-sized wad of gum. "Chomp . . . chomp . . . chomp."
So that's what the giraffe says in my house. "Chomp . . . chomp . . . chomp." It's kind of gross, really.
Tell me, what does your pint-sized giraffe say?Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments
