Sock pocket

Sometimes toddlers say things that just make you want to squeeze them. Yesterday K announced that at school, he had "learned the dance of the hokey pokey" (which he pronounced "hockey puckey"). Then he said, "Mommy! Why are you squeezing me?"


My favorite is "sock pocket." He says the word "puppet" for any other variety, but he always refers to the sock kind as a sock pocket.  K is in the throes of the Terrible Threes, throwing tantrums left and right, but all is forgiven when he says "sock pocket."
