Morning Rodent Conversation
After reading this post over on Defective Yeti, Larissa and I had the following conversation:
Larissa: Little “Bunny” Foo Foo? I always thought it was Little Rabbit Foo Foo.
Darren: I say Little Rabbit Foo Foo too.
Larissa: Lyla says “Bunny” Foo Foo. Maybe it’s just this next generation that says “Bunny”.
Darren: We’ll have to ask the originator of the song. For all we know, it started out at “Little Gopher Foo Foo” or “Little Chipmonk Foo Foo”.
Larissa: But aren’t gophers and chipmonks at the same level as fieldmice?
Darren: No, I think there’s some sort of social hierarchy among rodents.
Then, after the conversation, while I was typing this post:
Larissa: “Chipmonks” is actually spelled “chipmunks”, with a “u”.
Darren: Really?
Larissa: Yeah, what you’ve written is something like “chip-priests”.
Darren: That’s what I think of them as.
Little Bunny FooFoo
Hopping through the forest
Looking for the field mice and
Bopping them on the head!
I’m two generations previous…but then I did not meet the little foo foo bunny until Em came along, so that would mean next generation. Bunny or rabbit, Foo Foo did learn a valuable lesson, no one likes a head bopper.
By the way, I thought it was Chimpmonk. Would that mean a Darwin Priest?
