Words that make you laugh

Here lately, Madden has been cracking herself to bits over certain words. I remember all of them going through phases of cracking themselves up over little things, but this is my first child to actually give themselves the hiccups for saying...dog. Or, if you're Madden, "gog". Madden will usually start first, "Gog!" Then look over at you and wait for our response, "Dog!" we would reply. giggle, giggle, giggle. "Gog!"--"Dog!" haaah, haah, haaah. "Gog!"---"Dog!" Well, you see where this is going. This continues for at least a couple of minutes. Think about that. Saying variations of the word dog for a couple minutes and laughing until you hiccup...every time! I guess I shouldn't be shocked. There are commercials that come on that I laugh at every time I see them. One that comes to mind is that stupid armadillo commercial. The one with the armadillo super hero who is creating his own Capital One credit card and his wife sneaks up behind him with guacamole then he snaps into a ball. I mean, I've been laughing at that one all year. I tell myself, "Okay, here it comes..I know what's going to happen and I'm not going to laugh." And I do. Hhhmmm, this is confirming what we already know about me...silly.

Other words that crack Madden up are...spider, hippo, toes. She really likes to say, "Bye-bye boo boo baby." over and over and over. It's funny that Tom realizes her favorite words more than I. We were eating dinner and Madden was boring a hole into Tom. He looked at her and said, "Bye-bye boo boo baby." Madden immediately said it back and laughed. It was exactly what she wanted from him....what a daddy's girl.
