Daily Dialogue

The following is a conversation I have no less than 20 times a day.

Corinna: Where's Becca?
Dakotta: Where's Ree Becca?
Me: Rebecca's at school.
Corinna: Becca at kool.
Dakotta: Ree Becca at kool.
Me: Yes, Rebecca's at school.

(pause)

Corinna: Where'd Kendol go?
Dakotta: Where's Kendol?
Me: Kendall's at school, she went with Rebecca.
Corinna: Kendol at school on the bus.
Me: Yes Kendall went to school on the bus.
Dakotta: Kendol at school.

(pause)

Corinna: Where'd Daddy go?
Dakotta: Where'd Daddy go?
Me: Daddy's at work.
Corinna: Daddy at work.
Dakotta: Daddy at work.

(pause)

Corinna: Where's Eh Ee It?
Dakotta: Where's Eh Ee It?
Me: Elliott's asleep.
Corinna: Eh Ee It sleeping.
Dakotta: Eh Ee it sleeping in his bed.
Me: Yes, Elliott is sleeping in his bed.

This is how we start each morning, it's the conversation we have after nap time and several other times a day. Of course sometimes the answers change and often they like to add someone to the list. Today it was

Corinna: Where's Granny?
Me: Granny's at her house.
Dakotta: Where's Reuben?
Corinna: Where's Reuben?
Me: He's probably working.
Corinna: Reuben's at work.
Dakotta: Reuben at work.

This is sprinkled with an ample amount of "What's this?" all day long. Now you see why I'm so eager to talk to telemarketers.

They call him Reuben, not Butterfly?

It depends on what mood they're in. When he's around they call him Buttefly and sometimes they call him Butterfly Reuben.
