So I was changing a little boy's diaper at daycare yesterday. He's almost 2 years old I think. Absolutely adorable. At the age where he loves to repeat everything you say, so he has picked up some of my standards, like "Whoopsie daisies", "Oh golly", and "Okey dokey Smokey". He loves that last one, I think because it rhymes. Because of that when he starts to get cranky I try to connect a string of words that rhyme. Well, while I was changing him he got a little upset because the baby wipes were cold. In keeping with the spirit of rhyming, I said,
"Oh dear, chilly willy eh big guy. Chilly willy."
I think I got that from the penguin cartoon that played after Woody Woodpecker. But it rhymed and made him happy so I repeated it a few times. And bless his little heart, he repeated after me, and now associates having his diaper changed with a "chilly willy". Hope he doesn't say that in front of his parents.
Whoops!

I think that's a great story and no parent should be upset if it is repeated at home.
