Adessa-isms

You are now at the age where you just constantly crack me up with things you say... and I don't want to forget them. Here are some of my favorite "Adessa-isms":

"The Big Twist" = Cloverleaf freeway interchange, as in, "Daddy, can we go on The Big Twist? And I want to go real fast!"

"Sippy River" = Mississippi River (though sometimes you pronounce it perfectly)

"Can I pet a dog?" = what you yell to surprised dog owners, meaning "Excuse me, sir, but would you permit me to pet your dog?"

"Pasghetti" = Spaghetti

"Ding-dong bell" = a bell

"Hooley hoop" = hula hoop

"Eatmeal" = oatmeal

"Aminals" = animals

"Crazy Potty," "Crazy Sink," "Crazy Tub," etc. = any unusual bathroom fixtures, such as a clawfoot tub
