The “Yes, pickles.” continues. We had four boys in the back of the car last night cutting up. (Earplugs anyone?) Son #1 yells from the back “Dad, can you marshmellow watermelon weinerschnitzel?” I look at Steve “Marshmellow watermelon weinershcnitzel?” Steve rolls his eye at me and says “What, Son?” Son #1 yells “Can you marshmellow watermelon weinerschnitzel?” I yell back “Marshmellow watermelon weinerschnitzel?” He’s silent for a minute then yells back “Dad, is something wrong with Mom?” I yell back enthusiastically ”Yes, pickles!” More silence. “Dad?…. “ Again I call back ”Yes, pickles!” Steve gave me a sideways glance, shook his head at me, sighed and said “Nothing, Son. You mother is deaf.”

Thanks for translating what Mr. Hot just said as he was standing over by the stove. Mumbling.
“Marshmallow watermelon weinerschnitzel”.
I get it now.

Helen, when I read you sometimes I feel like you’re a fly on the wall in my house!
Seriously, I think I must be going deaf too! There are countless times when I ask my daughter or my husband a question and they feel compelled to wait, turn around and leave the room and then answer me as they’re walking away in the opposite direction. Now how am I supposed to understand them? All I hear is the Peanuts version of teachers: “Wa wa wa wa wa waaaa waaaa….” Ha! From now on, I’m using the Yes, Pickles line… although they’ll never know what the heck it is I’m saying.

I can no longer watch Higglytown Heroes without thinking of you…
The little girl always says “Ahh, Pickles!” each episode.
Cheers!

yeah after she comes up with some stupid plan! lol
On the subject of that program (Sorry for hijacking the thread Helen!) Do they sell toys of it in the states??? My little boy Loves the program.
As for hearing, mines stuffed! too many days/nights spent in recording studios when I was younger combined with working in noisy bars doesnt do any good!

I love me some marshmallow watermelon weinerschnitzel…and so does the Toddler, it is like his FAVORITE FOOD.
He always says “Ahh, pickle juice!!” and we laugh.
Now when I say, “Yes, Pickles!” He says “Momma, are you okay?” He’s catching on quick for being not quite 4.
Hubby still hasn’t caught on to it. I think that he might not be able to hear us at all.
