Say What?

Little Miss Gabriella came down with a fever and a bit of a croupy cough. It hasn't bothered her too much, but did keep her sidelined from gymnastics. She sounds a bit off when she speaks and Kate, who loves any figure of speech she can come up with, was quick to point out that Gabby had a 'frog in her throat.'

Gabby found the thought of a slimy amphibian in her throat abhorrent, so the little girl designed a new term to describe her changed voice. A cute and cuddly term. According to Gabriella, "I have a chipmunk in my throat."

Hopefully she'll be as good as new tomorrow and not have shared her chipmunk with anyone. She tells me that the chipmunk has made its way to her left foot. We'll see!
