cheeky monkey

so i may just come home with 2 kids with british accents. or at least an infusion of britishisms peppered throughout their vocabulary.

since their enrollment at woodland house nursery, there has been an increased usage of the very british term "cheeky monkey" around our flat. as in "you're a cheeky monkey." "no, you're the cheeky monkey." then cue peals of preachooler laughter.

i am just happy that we have been able to expunge both "poop" and "poopy" from daily conversation. we had already infected room 3 back home with these catchphrase witticisms and was worried that was going to be the impression we were going to leave behind here in bristol.

sadly, now EVERYTHING is cheeky. that is cheeky. she is cheeky. he is cheeky. you are cheeky. that was SO cheeky. too cheeky. upon uttering such a phrase, dignan and gemma fall on the floor in such laughter that they roll around, just repeating over and over, cheeky, cheeky, cheeky. which just starts the laughing anew.

and keeps them from throttling each other as i make dinner.
