Little One is still most famous for Her lion Rawr (what you missed it? She's famous for this!). But, She is learning all Her animal noises. She is a very good cow, for instance. She does a lovely Spanish interpretation of the snake- "Ts-thththththththththth". She is a truly fabulous monkey, and please don't be offended as She "ooh ohh ah ah ah"'s at your infants, because weeelll....we are genetically related, are we not? She has also recently learned about the vocalizations of sheep. Sheep, She is told, go like this(ahem): "Baa aa aa!".
The thing is. "Baa aa aa", when uttered with adult enthusiasm, sounds an awful lot like "Haa haa haa!". Which got Little One thinking. What is it with these sheep? Spent a little too much time at the dentist? Just a bit looney? Can there really be that many funny jokes about wool? But Little One, She's a smarty. She got those crazy sheep figured out! Yessir! She has been demonstrating Her brilliant conclusion for me when we read books.
As we read the animal books, we make the animal noise on each page. If she knows the sign, She does that too. And now, when we come to the page with the sheep on it (Baaa haaa haaa), She reaches out to their image on the page... and tickles them.
So, now we all know why sheep make that silly sound. They are, apparently, quite ticklish. Baa haha!
I was down in Tucson today and ate at Witchey Wich's Sandwiches, or however you spell it. Anyway, I thought of you because it is right next to U of A.
