Picture this: Me, Millie & Laney driving along the 215 on our merry way to playgroup, when suddenly the grey BMW sedan in front of us starts weaving and then braking and accelerating erratically. The following conversation ensues:
Me: (to the BMW) What are you doing!!???
BMW: No answer.
Millie: Mom, who are you talking to?
Me: The bad driver in front of us!
Millie: Why?
Me: Because she's text messaging when she should be driving. She's driving like a moron!
BMW: (weave. weave. weave. brake)
Millie: Oh. That reminds me of something.
Me: What does it remind you of?
Millie: Well, Spongebob? He's a really bad driver! He has *bad* boating skills.
(really, she said that)
Laney: Spunbob.
Me: (still watching the dumb text messaging girl weaving about, but from a safer distance. Glad to have a new topic of conversation so I can avoid yelling profanities at said BMW)
What makes Spongebob a bad driver?
Laney: (sees a crane) and yells WA-GOON! (for some reason she associates cranes with Lagoon amusement park)
Millie: (doesn't skip a beat) Sometimes? He drives with his foot while he reads the newspaper and drinks coffee. And that's Not. Doing. The Law!
Me: Your right! That's not doing the law.
Laney: I wike Doobie. (Doobie is how Laney says Oobie, the bare-hand puppet on Noggin.)
Millie: (annoyed) Laney! We are not talking about Oobie right now! We are talking about Spongebob!
Laney: Spunbob. Oooo-tay.

I'm impressed. My car would have gone something like this, me yelling multiple swear words, Luke repeating them back while Jada asked what each one means and Mia lectures me on the evil of bad words.
Millie has learned quite a bit from Spongebob Square pants. She still pulls at my sideburns and asks me if they're real. She has the impression that, like Spongebob, fake sideburns are a current trend in fashion to which I, somehow, seem susceptible.
Very funny Sariah loves spunbob too she watches it with daddy. Dont you just love what comes out of there little brain.
P.S. I would of been saying the same thing to the BMW.
Yay, Spunbob!
