Pooklet's been wanting us to pat him to sleep while singing him the Chinese word for 'cat' over and over. Tonight I resisted it a little, ad-libbing a song about cats, but he moved the ducky blanky from his mouth and flatly ordered me to "Sing the Mau-Mau." So, I picked a melody and just sang 'Mau-Mau' over and over.
"Sing the Mau-Mau."
Pook(n): sl. Root of (male) Pooky, (female) Pookie. Interchangeable pet name shorthand established in 2006 by a Chicago couple ever seeking to amuse themselves.

About the Blog
- Adam
- The main purpose of this blog has become primarily a documentation of parenting observations and lessons learned, to support family growth everywhere. Peppered throughout, you'll also find journal and worldview issues entries. It's also a record of the courtship, engagement, marriage, and move that took me from Chicago to California ("two years, two months").
