Funny Tall-tale of the Day

Noël has been really tired this week from lots of missed naps and late bedtimes.  Apparently, we've been having just a bit too much fun in the Veitz household.  =)

Around 4 this afternoon, she really started to rub her eyes.  "Are you sleepy, Noël?"  She looked at me, still rubbing her eyes, and gave me that long-drawn-with a funny inflection in the middle, "noooooooo."

Me: "You're not sleepy?  You're rubbing your eyes."

She looks at me with a concerned face and stops rubbing her eyes.

She brings one finger to her face and points to her eye.

Noël:  "Mammy, mys eyes outsie."

Me:  "Your eye is ouchy?  What from?"

Noël:  "Mammy, mys eyes outsie.  Is bock-bock."  Translation:  My eye is ouchy from a chicken.

Me:  "Noël, a bock bock made your eye ouchy?"

Noël shakes her head very seriously yes.

Me:  "So, a bock bock made your eye hurt?"

Noël:  "Bock bocks mys eyes outsie."  (Starts rubbing again).

Me:  "Okay, you're rubbing your eyes not because you're sleepy, but because a bock bock hurt you?"

Noël:  A very big nod 'yes.'

Then, she falls backwards dramatically on the couch with a really funny grin on her face.

The girl is a nut!
