Guess What, Mommy?

Finn's new favorite phrase is, "Guess what, Mommy?"  I have no idea where it came from, and I'm pretty sure he has no idea what it means, because all I get is silence when I reply, "What?"

So a few days ago I decided to give him a response...and the only obvious choice was "Chicken butt!" It took a few times, but by yesterday had it down pat.

"Guess what, Mommy?"
"What?"
"Chicken butt!" followed by hysterical laughter.

"Guess what, Mommy?"
"What?"
"Chicken butt!" followed by more hysterical laughter.

"Guess what, Mommy?"
"What?"
"Chicken butt!" and even more hysterical laughter.

Repeat x 20.  (Though my exaggerated reactions to his chicken butts might have something to do with how popular this is.)

This morning we were walking up the stairs so I could go take a shower, and Finn says, "Guess what, Mommy?"
"What, Finn?"
"Mommy's stinky."

    Don't forget the follows ups. Guess why? Cow pie. Guess where? In your hair.

    I love that you taught him this! It will drive you nuts eventually, I'm sure, and it'll be all your fault. Hope you get some good laughs in the meantime, though.

    Don't you just love hearing that hysterical laughter. One of my absolutely favorite things about parenthood is hearing Rowan with delight.
