Nolan And The Poo Poo Cocks

 As I've mentioned before, my grandchildren (and their parents before them) supply me with endless laughter. From what they say to what they do to how they perceive the world, I never lack for blog subjects.

So here we go again.

Before I get into the Poo Poo Cocks story, I want to relate what happened this morning.

As those of us who have children know, kids love repeating what they hear other people saying, even if they don't understand why they're saying it. Just this morning, Audrey (5) and Nolan (3) were dressed for a wedding and I told them they both looked beautiful. Just then their dad walked into the room and Nolan said, "Don't even say it, Dad. I know what you're going to say."

When Nolan didn't elaborate and nobody said anything, I asked Nolan, "What is your dad going to say?"

And he responded, "I don't know." Apparently the don't-even-say-it conversation was the whole point and required no further explanation.

Speaking of points, the point of this blog follows:

I was sitting on my bed one evening when my grandson, Nolan, walked into the room and said, "I want poo poo cocks."

Being the wise grandma that I am, I thought that sounded a lot like Cocoa Puffs (grandmas are so smart), but I didn't know we had Cocoa Puffs, and besides, I wanted to hear him say it again, so I asked him to repeat himself. "I want poo poo cocks."  Yes, this is the same little guy who wanted a Poppochino (read that blog by clicking the link).

I was surprised that my grandson, who always asks for Crunch (Cinnamon Toast Crunch) every morning even liked Cocoa Puffs, so I searched the pantry and there it was – a brand new box of Poo Poo Cocks.

Now I want you to picture me with my eyes searching the sky as I tap my chin with my finger. Wonder if these blogs will be around when my grandchildren become teenagers. I would love to present these blogs as historically accurate accounts of their lives as seen through the eyes of their grandma.

I just hope I'm around long enough to enjoy watching their reactions.
