Come on, Mom!

Zachary has a pretty neat little imagination. He's been making up games to play with me, Todd and/or Allie. This is really funny because sometimes he'll make up a game, insist that we play, yet doesn't really inform us (the participants) of the rules and regulations. Here's the most recent example:

Zachary: "Mommy! Let's play cowapeelur!" (he still says 'caterpillar' funny)
Mommy: "Ok, sounds fun."
Zachary: "I'll say 'cowapeelur cowapeelur cowapeelur' and you walk like a cowapeelur."
Mommy: "Ok, I'm ready."
Zachary: "cowapeelur cowapeelur cowapeelur"
Mommy wiggles across the floor in a fairly poor effort to look like a caterpillar.
Mommy: "Ok, your turn...caterpillar caterpillar caterpillar..."

Zachary does an even funnier impression of a caterpillar
Zachary: "Now do ladybug ladybug ladybug..."

We proceeded to repeat this same little routine for spider, and then Zachary decided he would do the imitations, if I yelled the creatures' names. I quickly agreed to this mid-game change, sacrificing my deep desire to wiggle, walk & squirm all over the place.

I yelled bumble bee, centipede, worm, snake, ant, beetle, and a few other creepy crawlies. At some point, I couldn't think of anymore and since I didn't know the official rules of the game, I just said, "Frog!"

Oops.

Zachary: "Mommy. No. That is not right. A frog is not an insect. BUGS are insects. Not frogs. Don't you know that? You have to say insects."
