It started the other day, when she came home to taunt her brother for not going to the grocery story with her.
The Girl: I got a DONUT at the grocery store. A DONUT! You would have gotten one too if you had come with us, but you didn't!
The Boy: Well, I had a donut earlier in the day. So THERE!
To which, my little angel replied, quite triumphantly:
Well, I had one earlier in the day too, which means I had TWO donuts today. BOOM!
Boom?!
We all had a good laugh over that, which encouraged her to repeat BOOM! in various ways that were significantly less funny.
Later, I shouted for her to go to brush her teeth. I was washing her thermos at the sink and she was, I thought, in the next room watching TV. In fact, she was passing through the room I was in, and she therefore scream/screeched something that was probably "I *AM* GOING TO BRUSH MY TEETH!" but, in fact, sounded like a combination of nails on a chalkboard and someone strangling a chicken.
Husband: Wow. That was really not very nice. You shouldn't shout at your mom that way.
The Girl: Hey! She shouts at me, I shout at her, yo!
This was, quite possibly, the funniest thing I have ever heard. Done in perfect street slang accent, it was simply hilarious. Of course, we burst out laughing, thereby cementing "Yo" as part of our street-talking-six-year-old's lingo.
I wonder if this will work for me too, yo?
