Da Da Da's

When the boys were one year old , they would strip down to their diapers and run around screaming "Da Da Da".  I would register dread whenever I heard "Da Da Da" because it never meant anything good.  This was twin-speak for "running around like mad-men while naked or nearly naked".  Of all the twinspeak that the boys had (which persisted well into their 4th year), this one word persisted the longest.  It usually ended in some kind of carnage or destruction.  This morning, at six years old, Quinn showed up in underwear, and Colby said "Hey, Mom, Quinn is playing Da Da Da!"    I hadn't heard the 'word' for several years.  Sometimes I'm amazed at the things they remember.  The ONE thing I wish they'd forget!!!
