Our first inside joke

Anyone been watched Milo and Otis recently? This is one of Little Bug's new favorite movies. His favorite part is when Milo and Otis are watching Gloria's egg. He loves how the frog teases Otis. He also loves that when the egg hatches, the chick thinks its a dog.

Recently, Little Bug will start randomly saying, "OTIS... OTIS... OTIS... OTIS" just like the frog. He looks at us and raises one eyebrow. When we reply with the same thing, he giggles hysterically.

He has now added, "Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!.... CHICKEN MOMMY!" This is from when Otis finally convinces the chick that it is really a chicken and not a dog. He thinks it is hysterical that we know the movie like he does.

Although this is a simple thing that most parents would never remember, I will treasure this forever. When he first saw the movie, he was somewhat outraged that the chicken thought it was a dog. He would yell NO over and over at the TV. The fact that he now gets that calling something it isn't is funny is huge. The fact that he wants to share his sense of humor with us, even more important.
