Subject: RE: BS: Under the alligators, through a tunnel
When my eldest nephew was learning to talk he called my father Bumpa..we would all try to correct him by saying "No, Thomas, Grrrr ampa" to get the correct sound going. That's how my father became known as Grrrrr Bumpa. This is the same kid who called my mother "Raggy" but we all thought that was pretty accurate and didn't correct him.
He's 23, well over 6' tall and covered in tatooes now but every chance we get we remind him of when he was 2 or 3 and his favorite show was Lassie reruns. At the end of every show when Lassie and Timmy walked off into the distance he would wail and cry and carry on "Lassie noooooo...don't gooooo". He doesn't think it's very funny but the rest of us sure get a kick out of it.
