Larkin woke up with a runny nose this morning. I said to her, "Oh no! Do you have boogies in your nose?" and she just looked at me. I smiled and clarified, "Your nose is running." She thought that was funny and smiled. She said, "bugs. nose."
I couldn't help but laugh out loud at her funny play on words. I suppose "boogies" does sound like "bugs" ...
She laughed with me and then added, "run. nose. silly."
A good reminder that the words we say sometimes sound really silly when our children first hear them in a new or deeper context.
