Happy Tea Party!

Millie cracks herself up.

While I was trying to put her down to sleep this week, she started talking about her day. She's quiet for a moment and looks away concentrating, then turns to me and says,

"Giant Crab!"
"Yes Millie, we saw a giant crab at the Maryland science center today."
"Wake up crab!"
"Yes, Amelia, the people were trying to get it to move by jumping around."

It was a motion sensor activated animatronic crab. Then..

"Yo ho ho."
"Yes, Max was pirate."

We had watched all of 3 minutes of Max and Ruby on TV while I tried to comb her hair- TV is the only thing that gets her to sit still while anyone touches her head. On this particular episode Max the rabbit was pretending to be a pirate and kept saying Yo-ho-ho. His sister Ruby wanted to have a tea party instead. So the next thing Amelia said was...

"Tea Party!"
"Yes Millie, Ruby was having a tea party with her dolls."
"Happy Tea-Party"

With that she busts into a hearty fit of laughter.

"Happy tea-Party! ah-ha-ha-ha-a" It's like she's saying, "Get it? Happy Tea Party!" She said it like 5 times and each time she thought it was more hysterical. Of course, I laughed too- not because I had any idea what the joke was in her mind but because it is just so funny that she cracks herself up.
