"I YAK alot"

One of our new favorite past times to do while driving in the car is to listen to books on tape. Of course the Harry Potter Series is fabulous. We also listened to Judy Moody Predicts the Future and Stink and the Incredible Super-Galactic Jawbreaker, both by Megan McDonald.


Judy Moody and her little brother Stink have become some of our favorite characters. And the Stink book was read by Nancy Cartwright who does the voice of Bart Simpson. I HIGHLY recommend these books, but the audio CD's are even better.


Anyway, I think Abby is like most typical 5 year olds and talks nonstop. She also is very inquisitive and asks what everything means. So in one of these books she overheard them say Yak, and asked what it means. After explaining it to her, she proudly said:

"I YAK alot"


My brilliant child, she understands the concept, just doesn't hear the negative connotation in it.
