Er?

Captain Feathersword is the friendly pirate, also referred to as the 5th Wiggle. His Magic Buttons are a fan favorite, and often cause the Captain to sing opera, rock or other music types. The buttons can also cause the Captain to sound like various animals, or imitate various objects.


My children are weird.

There we sat in the car, waiting for the school bus to arrive because Mommy still has a fever and doesn't want to make it worse. While we waited they introduced me to a game they'd been playing on the bus for about a week. They call it Chicken Button.

Yes, you read that right. Chicken Button.

Essentially, one child pokes the other and yells "Chicken!" At this point, the pokee is supposed to cluck. Sounds cute, right? Almost like Captain Feathersword and his magic buttons, right? They hit the "Cow" button and the pokee moos. They hit "Kangaroo" and the pokee bounces. They hit "Cat" and the pokee meows.

They hit "Fried Chicken!" and the pokee squeals, puts his arms and legs in the air and plays dead while the poker starts saying "Nomnomnom".

Please tell me you're having the same reaction I did, and that I'm not insane. Do I laugh, do I cry, or do I tell them not to imitate food?

You cry because you're laughing so hard about the fact that you have to tell your children not to imitate food, of course!!! ROFL, this is still better than the game my boys like to play in the car which consists of imitating various body functions (yuck).

The worst part? Just before they started playing the neighbor's little boy had climbed into the van (with his daddy's permission) to watch Thomas the Tank Engine with my boys. The poor father looked like he didn't know whether to laugh or yank his kid out of the crazy car.

Thanks Zina. I'm feeling okay. The cold is gone but the weather is making me ache. Oh well! I got a LOT of work done today. Bless my hubby for letting me buy the furniture he did! I have a chaise and a laptop desk for really bad days so can keep working while my bad leg is up. :D
